Peaches

Last week we told you that some very nice family friends gifted us with a large amount of fresh peaches. This last week we were able to use gevery last one of them in some really delicious ways!

We started by trying out a freezer jam recipe we found on Pinterest. There are tons of recipes for this so we picked one we thought sounded good to us. After making and trying the first batch we turned right around and made another batch. It was fairly simple to make with only the peeling and pitting of the peaches being the time consuming part.

Next we wanted to can some pie filling to have all year long. We made the pie filling and used lemon juice as the preservative. We were able to can fourteen jars of pie filling. We can’t wait to try it in a pie soon. We’ve got a really good pie crust that came from the family of the people who gave us the peaches.

We then had one bag left and decided to make one last round of freezer jam. It is really that good that we made three rounds of it. There are so many recipes out there for things you can do with peaches. Once the peaches on our property come in we will have so many ways to use them. I definitely want to try to make a peach crumble and of course peach Bellini’s!

What are some ways you all have used fresh peaches? We would love to hear any different ideas to put this delicious fruit to good use!
