Georgia Peaches

WOW!

I had no idea what we were missing till two weeks ago when we bought 50 pounds of Georgia Peaches.

We have been enjoying every yummy recipe I can find to use our them.

The boys and I started by making peach cobbler.  I have 2 recipes, one that I use when camping.  It is so simple.  Pour in a can or two of peaches into a cast iron skillet, dump in a yellow cake mix and bake over the fire.

My other favorite cobbler recipe is great no matter what your fruit is.  The crust makes this cobbler the best. Crush up "Nilla Wafers" and mix with butter and sugar.  Place the crumble topping over your fresh peach slices and bake.  It is best when served warm from the oven with homemade vanilla ice cream.

We also made some peach puree for Cutie O.  He is now enjoying puree's and about to taste fruit for the first time.  Grammy has the peaches ready.

Sean suggested I dry some peaches in the food dehydrator.  It took a long time to dry the peach slices, but they were so tasty.  I added them to my granola this morning for breakfast.  

Holly thought it would be fun to try making peach jam.  Agree!  While the pealing and chopping took a bit of time I was eager to taste homemade peach jam.  Unfortunately it did not set.  I have 4 pint jars of chunky peach syrup.  This might be better on pancakes.

After 3 days in the kitchen with peaches, pits, peals and slices I was worn out.  But it was so worth it!
