Peach Season!

terrier3 — Mon, 25 Aug 2014 17:21:19 GMT

I just ate my first local sweet juicy peach (over the sink)...it was SO GOOD! Between the peaches and tomatoes, I'm in Farmer's Market Heaven!

I like my peaches plain...or grilled.

But I have never made a peach pie in my life and I'm thinking there may be one in our future!

What's YOUR favorite late summer treat?

Peaches are one of my favorite things on earth Terrier!! Nothing is better than peach ice cream on a hot summer day.

Enjoy!!

I love white peaches. They are so much sweeter than regular ones. I think I must have eaten a dozen of them in the past couple weeks. I have a recipe for peach walnut dump cake and I am preparing it for my garden club meeting I am hosting in October. Will probably have to use canned peaches, but if I control my impulse I will cut up fresh peaches and put them in the freezer for the cake.

Loving the peaches and cherries right now. Our farmer's market has Colorado peaches and they are so much better than what is in the grocery store. So sweet and juicy, wish we could get them all year. The cherries have also been amazing, like candy. I love the fall harvest for veggies, but summertime is so wonderful for the variety of fruits.

Peaches from Wenatchee, Wa. I love peaches just about any way. Peach cobbler is one of my favorites. Peaches, apricots, and cherries are my favorite fruits.

I'm with you - peaches and tomatoes. I live in a farming community and our local grocery stores have a section where they sell only ""locally grown veggies"" this time of the year. They show the name and location of the farm and all are from right here in our little town or no more than 15 or 20 miles away.

Hi Terrier3, sounds delish. I believe next weekend is the Lewiston Peach Festival. I make a peach pie from a recipie I saw on The Chew. You use a cast iron pan, and amaretto in the peaches.

I like peaches but not the fuzzy skin, so nectarines have become my favorite substitute.

Peach pie sounds delish. I can't remember ever having it before.

Love fresh peaches! Peaches and Amaretto? May have to check that one out. Never thought of Amaretto in my cobbler, but it sounds divine when you think about it.

Don't really have a favorite as I generally like most all. I really like grilled peaches or nectarines - YUM!

I heard on the radio this morning that any peaches around her are more than likely going to be from another state. Apparently our harsh winter wiped out our peach growing.

Hi scottie!!

I've never heard of muskmelon but I love watermelon too.

Hi Mom! A muskmelon is usually much larger than a cantaloupe and the flavor is much more intense. They are only available about 2 weeks of the summer for peak flavor texture. They get very mushy after those 2 weeks. They are sweeter and better textured than the cantaloupes you get at the grocery store.

My peach tree only got 2 peaches this year. And they blew off in a thunderstorm

I asked the nursery where I bought it, and he said a lot of trees didn't get fruit this year.

Last year, someone picked and ate them and left the pits

So next year will be year 3, I better get somes peaches.

Thanks scottie. I don't know if we have them out here but I will check it out. I like Honeydew Melons also.
