Peaches!

It is time for peaches. Yum! You can make peach jam (freezer or canned), freezer peach pies, canned sliced peaches, and frozen sliced peaches (specially yummy for fruit smoothies). If you have a dehydrator, you can even have dried peaches.

*See my Freezer Peach Pie Filling under "Freezer" for an idea.

*If you want to freeze sliced peaches, you will need to put the cleaned peaches in boiling water for about 2-3 minutes. Take them out immediately and place them in ice cold water. When you can handle them, slip the peeling off, slice and then put into a bowl. Sprinkle with Fruit Fresh and stir. Place on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper in a single layer and freeze. When frozen, break the peaches up, if needed, and place in a freezer zip lock back, date and put back into the freezer.

*If you want to make peach jam, get a box of pectin and follow the directions for either canned or frozen peaches.
