Everything’s peachy

It’s the season for fresh peaches and for eating them in all your favorite ways.

August 24 is National Peach Pie Day, and learning that made me smile. I love peaches any way I can get them, whether dried, fresh, frozen or canned.

I also love pies (even though I am not a fan of store-bought pie crusts), but this time I would like to include some other delicious ways to make peach desserts.

Despite the fact that back in June, we explored some peaches and cream recipes, I can’t resist including some different recipes. If you have a source for tree-ripened fresh peaches, you are very lucky indeed. I really miss the peach trees my grandparents used to have on their ranch. They did not grow them for commercial use, but just a few trees in their garden. The commercial crops were apricots, prunes and walnuts.
