along with this house came two peach trees. one is old and very large and in the past it has produced bushels and bushels of peaches. this year, however, only a few.
the smaller tree, though, was loaded down with peaches. we picked and picked and picked them and now have baskets and bowls full of peaches.
so i’ve been spending much time making peach things.
i made a peach-bourbon upside down cake except i had no bourbon and instead used rum and it was delicious.
today i’m making two custard peach pies. they’re in the over right now. next time i’m going to buy a crust. i never like to buy premade things but i HATE MAKING PIE CRUST. way way way too much work on this beautiful saturday morning when i should be outside.
it’s cooler here now; yesterday almost the entire day it was only in the 60’s and overcast and it felt like winter.
i realize this is silly, temps in the 60s don’t make it winter, but it felt winter-like to me.
i’m also going to make a giant peach crisp but i think i’ll wait till tomorrow.
i keep using big amounts of peaches for each recipe, but there are still lots and lots of peaches. maybe tomorrow i’ll start freezing them, too.
if you’re in the neighborhood, please, stop by for a slice of peach pie or cake. or just a few fresh peaches, which is really the best way to eat them but neither man nor woman can live on peaches alone.
ok then,
saturday grace.
