I'm wondering what your favorite peach recipes are? Peach pie and cobbler are standbys, but what else are you making with the nice ripe peaches that are in the stores right now?

I had some fresh peach salsa that a friend made..oh my it was good. I know it had kiwi and fresh mint in it..but darned if I can remember what else. We dipped shorbread or sugar cookies in it..it was nice!!!!!!!!
I love to just wash and eat a fresh peach..one of my favorite fruits for sure. We won't have them available here until August..

The ONLY thing I miss about our old house is the beautiful peach tree we had. The peaches from that tree had to be eaten over the sink as the juice ran down your arm! Sure wish I knew what variety it was.
I used to make a mild peach/orange marmalade that was delicious. I just used the Certo recipe for peach jam and added orange juice instead of the lemon that it called for and a little grated or finely chopped orange rind.
Something else I still occasionally make is a peach (or sometimes mango) salsa. Mix chopped peach with a little lemon juice to prevent discoloring, add a little red onion, chopped green pepper, fresh cilantro and a clove of garlic. It's wonderful on fish.
And just plain, home-canned peaches are a real treat in winter.

Besides eating one while leaning over the sink we do the usual peach cobbler, peach ice cream, and I like to make biscuit dough with a little sugar and almond extract added and fold it around peach halves and bake them in the oven. I also love fresh peach smoothies for breakfast made in the blender with yogurt and ice; really good on hot days when you don't feel like eating much.

When i can get decent peaches, which isn't often around here, I like to make pickled peaches, peach chutney and James Beard's peach jam , it has vanilla bean and a dash of peach brandy in it. I wish I could get a peach that I would need to lean over the sink to eat! That is one of the drawbacks of living in the Northest....

Me too!
I've made a canned peach salsa for two years now. We really love it. And of course there's peach pie. I freeze the fillings for my fruit pies in pie plates without the crust and then pop 'em out and wrap with plastic wrap. Then you can just stack them in the freezer.

i use any fresh fruit in season to make a crisp... its quick & easy and always the hit of the potluck!
last week, i made a peach & raspberry crisp and it was heavenly...
i use a cup of flour, a cup of brown sugar, 1/2-3/4 cup of oatmeal & 1/2-3/4 cup of granola... i usually mix that in a ziploc baggie and mix it up, then throw in a stick of butter and microwave it until the butter is melted... smoosh it up until blended & dump on top of the prepared fruit in the dish... bake at 350 til bubbly and its done! if the fruit is sweet enough, there's no need to add sugar...

I'm still waiting for the Niagara peaches here, but when they are ready, I'll be making peach lavender jam. I made it last year for the first time, and it was "to die for."

I used a recipe from (www.allrecipes.com) called Peach Salsa II. It's really good.

Ok, now don't laugh, but I've never heard of a sweet salsa before. What do you eat this with?

It's great with chicken or pork. Or over cream cheese with crackers.

I clean them, pit and chop and put in a bowl, drizzle with raw honey and sprinkle with cinnamon. Let chill in the fridge before serving. Serve over a little bit of fiber one or crumbly graham crackers. Delish!

Peaches are one of those favorite things for me.....I do not even bother to mess with a recipe because I can't top what Mother Nature has done. I peel, slice and sprinkle a tad of sugar over them, and put the bowl on the dinner table. It is always empty after dinner! And we do the same thing and put them on vanilla ice cream. Yum Yum. Our peaches are really coming in here in the south, and the ones I have had are really juicy this year.

| Hello Molly - I had to find my recipe for the peach butter. It is made in a slow cooker and really makes the house smell great while cooking. Peel your peaches and chop into a blender or food processor to puree. Fill your crockpot to about an inch from the top. Add 2 Tbsp ground cinnamon, 1 tsp ground cloves, 1/2 tsp allspice and 4 cups of sugar (or Splenda). Cover your pot with a loose fitting lid or a splatter guard so that steam will escape allowing the butter to cook down. Cook on low 6-12 hours, depending on the consistency you want. It should reduce to about one-half. I like mine thick so I let it go quite a while. I usually blend it again with a mixer or submersion blender before filling my jars. Process pints and half-pints 5 min. in a water bath canner (qts - 10 min). I hope you enjoy making this. |

| Karen - I sent you an e-mail in answer, but just in case. I would have to guess about a peck or less. I usually use the ripest ones in a couple of bushels. Also, I get about six pints (actually I use 1/2 pints because there are just two of us and I can always open another jar rather than have one set long after it is opened). Good luck with yours. It will be a couple of weeks before the peaches in our area are truly freestone so I am waiting (but not patiently). |

All I do is can them and if I have some that are too ripe for that, I also make peach butter. Last year, our local nursery/organic farm stand had a box of peaches that were too far gone to sell so she gave them to me. All of them went into peach butter. You gals will just love it.
