I don't think that I've ever met a peach I haven't liked! my peaches I purchased today are going into the freezer and the dehydrator. (Already have some canned) :)

YUM! I've been wanting to buy a lug of peaches to freeze and have on hand this winter. Love that peachy chicken salad recipe. Definitely will have to try it.
ReplyDeleteOh I love peaches. Hope all is well. Farming sure is busy but seeing peaches on Cheerios makes me smile. That is my Mom's favourite. Take care. B
