One thing I love about the end of summer is FRESH PEACHES! It’s definitely a seasonal food for me and while I don’t crave it a whole lot in winter or spring I always find myself excitedly anticipating the season when we have fresh peaches.
I try and convince my husband to make the trek up to Brigham City or Logan, UT with me each fall to buy a few boxes. (I went to college in Cache valley and love any excuse to go visit.) But I’m not always successful. Lucky for me, few weeks ago a sweet neighbor of mine had boxes of early-ripe peaches available and she had used all she wanted and was giving the rest away! These peaches were riiiiipe and needed to be used that day. I don’t can peaches or do a whole lot of baking with them but I love to make fresh peach pie or freeze peach slices to eat throughout the fall/winter months.
Call me weird, but my favorite way to eat peaches…and my girls have followed suit…is to pour milk/cream on top of frozen peach slices and have “Peaches & Cream”. We don’t eat cereal at my house so fruit with milk is a common snack for us. Add a little sugar and it turns into a crystallized peach ice cream type treat 😋
This is not an original method by any means but sometimes when peach season comes its a now or never project…Either find 100 ways to use all the available peaches or don’t even bother…So I wanted to share how easy it is to slice up the peaches and bag them with a little lemon juice and sugar and freeze them flat in the freezer for future use.
I’d love to hear what you all like to do with your fresh peaches so please share!
