Colorado Peaches

Nightowlz — Tue, 20 Aug 2024 18:35:46 GMT

We don't get peaches here until late July or Aug. We drove up the road 45 mins to pick up some peaches from Colorado on Fri. They are huge. Some are 12" in size. There are 60 peaches at $100. They are so juicy after I let them ripen on the table.

We made 2 batches of peach ice cream yesterday. DH took a batch to his mom's house. His sister & sons kids will help my MIL eat it. Yum!

The peaches and ice cream both look delicious. There's nothing quite so perfect as a peach. I LOVE them.

It is really good. Every year I wait for them to bring in Colorado peaches. It's a long wait.

Peaches will be available into Sept. here.

Even though peaches are a goitrogenic food which can impair thyroid function I still eat a lot of them.

@Kachina624

That's where they come from. They are Cunningham peaches. We also have a peach truck here from Aug-Sept with peaches from Noland Orchard. There trucks go to several states. You can check their list on their site to see if one is close to your location.

Wish I could share with everyone. My sister wants some but she's 1200 miles away.

She also wants DH to make some of cinnamon rolls so we can ship them to her.

Now I need to start cutting up peaches to freeze.

These pics are killin' me ~ they look so good (especially the ice cream). Peaches have been plentiful around here this season but I've not had any really good ones. They've been small and hard and not juicy ~ maybe next year. Keep enjoying all your wonderful goodies.

@Nightowlz You just hit my weakness! My very favorite sweet or dessert is ice cream and peach ice cream is at the very top of that list! I'll take a quart to go....NO! Make that a half gallon!

We drive from Albuquerque to Santa Fe to buy Palisade peaches. This year we paid $80 for a case of 45.

Picked up some enormous apricots and Methley plums, too.

Yeah, I know most of the country associates Georgia with peaches, but the peaches from Utah and Colorado are absolutely THE BEST. Yummmm...

@Nightowlz You really know how to tempt a person. Ice cream looks so good, and like so many others have mentioned, I have a big bowl and spoon ready.

Enjoy your bounty.

I love your peach ice cream @Nightowlz!

We used to get peaches from a roadside stand when I was young and then come home and make peach ice cream! I always remember how good it tasted.

One of my daughters introduced me to white peaches this year. Well I got one and let it sit out til just right-not tooo soft but just right. And then put it in the refrigerator for a day. And it was the best peach I've ever had!

My grandkids like them too very much.

For those who have access to Tillamook and have a hankering for peach ice cream...

@just bee

That looks really good. We love Tillamook cheese. Have never seen their ice cream around here?

I cut peaches up to freeze so we can have a peach shake every once in a while.

I remember them making peach ice cream at family reunions years ago. It was so good. I'm glad I found the recipe we use online which we really like.

DH was waiting in line to get ice he told a lady he was going to make peach ice cream. She asked him if we was going to use cream to make it? She said she made some with some orange pop? LOL!!! I don't think we want any made with pop.
