peach harvest

We harvested a beautiful, fully-laden peach tree last week -- and spent the next several days putting up gallons and gallons of peaches!

The bountiful tree yielded about 600 ripe organically-grown peaches.


By the time our appetites are ready for peaches again, winter will be upon us . . .

Recipe for freezing fresh peach slices:

We peeled, pitted and sliced the peaches. They were spooned into plastic Ziploc freezer bags.

We sprinkled each gallon of peach slices with about 1/2 cup sugar and about 1/2 cup lemon juice.

Then the air was squeezed out of the bags as much as possible.

The bags were zipped shut and placed in the freezer.
