Peel and slice then drizzle a little heavy cream or 1/2 & 1/2 on them and a light dusting of sugar.

As much as we loved pies, cobblers, and fried pies, we preferred them slightly thawed. Where do you buy them?

Like the first I bought at the market, not much better. Try to get Elberta or Alberta, whichever it is.

That was one of the problems--buy hard ones but let them ripen, and then they rot.

I sat with a plate under my chin and a huge towel under the elbow holding the peach. I was happy, joyful and just washed up good afterward. I felt like a kid. <br /><br />I can see that would happen to a peach picked too soon. <br /><br />Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-57355162032625652662016-08-15T17:26:31.716-05:002016-08-15T17:26:31.716-05:00We have red haven peaches here.
