PEACHES

So this morning, I drove 16 miles to buy a half a bushel of peaches from a guy with a horse trailer. I guess every year he comes and brings back a load of fresh Colorado peaches to sell here. Twenty minutes later and about twenty people later, I was on my way back home with my prize. Half went to a friend, who wanted some and the other half is all mine. At home, I finally sliced a big juicy peach open -delicious. Steve really liked it too. I may need to hide them while I’m out.
Okay, so plans for the peaches. I had thought about canning them and then my Dad mentioned making preserves. Yummy. I forgot about that… I love peach preserves! So today I made my first batch of peach preserves, keeping my fingers crossed that it works. Here is the website that I used for the recipe:peach-preserves. It was really super easy. I’m also going to do what my Mom does and sliced and freeze some peaches with a sugar glaze. Right now, I have a pan in the freezer with slices on it. Each slice will get frozen by itself, this way I don’t have to unfreeze the whole bag when I want just a few. Below are the jars of preserve that I canned. They need to wait 24 hours of so before we should "test" them. Wednesday, I hope to have time to make some Challah bread. My mouth is already watering thinking about how good the combination will be.
