Thanks for the link. We bought a case of peaches last weekend. I have been eating them every day for breakfast or lunch. I paid $35 for a case of 54 peaches or about .65¢ each. Peaches from Colorado will be here Weds. I'm going to buy at least 2 cases. I need to cut some up & freeze to use during the winter. I also need to make some peach jam.

Make some peach jam & make this recipe. It's really good. I have made it in the oven & DH has made in on the grill. YUM!!! This one was made on the grill. 

Boneless Pork Loin With Honey-Peach Glaze

Serve this flavorful pork loin with potatoes and a green vegetable or salad, or your family's favorite side dishes. The leftover sliced pork makes delicious sandwiches, too.

Cook Time: 1 hour, 30 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour, 30 minutes

Ingredients:

•1 cup peach preserves
•2 tablespoons honey
•Juice of 1 small lemon
•1 boneless pork loin roast, about 3 pounds
•Salt and pepper, to

Preparation:

In a medium saucepan, combine the peach preserves, honey, and lemon. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Set aside.

Heat oven to 350°. Line a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan with foil.

Sprinkle the pork roast with salt and pepper. Place the roast, fat side up, in the prepared pan. Roast for 1 hour.

Brush the roast all over with the peach glaze mixture. Continue roasting for about 30 to 40 minutes, brushing with glaze frequently.

A meat thermometer should read 160° when inserted in the center of the roast.

Serves 6 to 8

@Nightowlz  Thank you for the pork recipe--it looks really good.  Here's another one, using chicken, that we just had.  I can recommend it, although, for the two of us, I cut the recipe down to a third (except for the sliced peaches), and still had plenty of sauce.

Peach Whiskey Chicken

2 Tablespoons butter
2 Tablespoons olive oil
12 chicken legs or thighs, bone in, skin on
1 onion, diced
1 ½ cup whiskey
4 cups bbq sauce
1 cup peach preserves
2 Tablespoons  Worcestershire sauce
4 peaches, pitted, sliced

Mashed potatoes for serving

Oven to 300.

Heat butter & oil in Dutch oven. Brown chicken till golden. Remove, set aside.

Add onions, cook till translucent. Pour in whisky. Cook about 3 minutes, allowing to reduce a little.

Add favorite BBQ sauce. Add peach preserves, Worcestershire, ½ cup water. Add back chicken, then peach slices.

Cover, roast in oven about 1 ½ hours.

Note: The sauce is quite thin—you could thicken at the end, if you want, but we liked it as is over potatoes.

Edited to add:  I forgot to mention I also decreased the oven temperature to 250º for an hour, then raised it to 300º for the last 30 minutes or so. The chicken meat was very moist.

Thank you. I will have to try this. I have chicken on my grocery list. I only have 2 chicken breasts left in the freezer. Want to make the coconut chicken recipe that CatLover posted on the forums. DH likes Bourbon Chicken like they have in the Mall so I make it a lot. Finally found a recipe online that we both like & it's easy to make.

Thank you for the website link. I love fresh juicy peaches.  Unfortunately I bought some Georgia peaches a few days ago and all of them were dry and pithy.  Had to throw them away.  They sure looked good on the outside!

Ooh, I hate to hear this--what a disappointment that must have been!  DH and I were planning to load up on Georgia peaches in just a few days.  I wonder if it was a bad Summer for them?

I have bought Georgia peaches 3 times this year and they are some of the best I have ever had!  Made peach jam & put some in the freezer from the second batch I bought and I will b making more peach jam tomorrow!!

I had some fresh Georgia peaches at night, sliced with a little Splenda added...so good!!

I, too, love peaches sooooooo much!  To me, peaches smell better than ANYTHING.

You could make some ice pops.  I get these Dreyer's brand (Edy's in the east) peach flavored ones and love them.  Seems like they would be easy to make if you have the ice pop containers.  I got mine at Amazon a few years back and have made a few different varieties with fresh fruit. 

Haven't made peach yet because I seldom get a bunch of peaches and the Dreyer's ones are so good (I think they are called Outshine or something like that now).

I just like to eat them plain. Today, I finished freezing a half bushel of Michigan peaches. They were so good, I wish I had more. A friend drives to Michigan to get them and brings some back for anyone who asks him. The peaches I have purchased at the groceries have also been good this year. Now that all of my peaches are frozen, I need to go buy more.

Now I want to try some of these recipes.

Debcakes, How did you freeze your peaches? I am thinking about buying some at Giant Eagle today (.99 per lb) and would like to know what you put them in, and if you added anything to them- also, I hope you don't have to peel them (but I think I know the answer to that one, lol). 

I am wondering if .99 per lb translates into around the same price as when you purchase them by the bushel. Thanks, in advance.
