yum! peaches!

Ok, not a long post tonight but I wanted to share a culinary secret. I guess it's not really a secret but it's a really good idea. If you like peaches and pie, listen up. Now is the best time to get peaches. You will want to get freestone peaches (meaning the inner "stone" seperates easily from the fruit). Chambersburg peaches are the best. Also pick up a container of Fruit Fresh at your grocery store. It's in the canning section. Next, peel and slice 4 cups of peaches, mix in the appropriate amount of Fruit Fresh, put in container and freeze. If you freeze them now they will last until the fall. My mom does this and then defrosts the peaches and makes a pie with them for Thanksgiving. Since I am hosting this year, I decided to do the same. The peaches are ready for a pie shell once defrosted. Enjoy!
On another note, a friend from a local message board is selling a cookbook to raise money for their adoption. These cookbooks have a great selection of recipes and make great gifts! You will also help them bring their sweet little boy home from Guatemala. Click here to order.
