Summer Peaches

Ranked #14,392 in Food & Cooking, #253,407 overall

Could there be anything better??

Is there anything more delectable than a luscious summer peach... okay, I don't like the juice running down my arm, but everything else is GOOD.

And I recently tried peach shortcake and I do believe that it's nearly as good as strawberry shortcake. Now I have two summer desserts! Have you tried it yet??

Ice Cream Peach Pie

-1 9-inch pie shell, baked and cooled
-a good thick layer of vanilla ice cream (I never bother measuring... I just use as much as I see fit.
-2 cups sliced fresh peaches
-sliced strawberries (that have been sitting in a little sugar to extract the juice... all summer long we seem to have a container of them in the fridge. (Again, use as many or as few as you like)

*Spoon ice cream into cooled pastry shell; top with peach slices. Now top with sliced strawberries and serve. For some reason the strawberries and peaches compliment each other nicely!

Fresh Peaches with Raspberry Sauce!

2 cups fresh raspberries
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 fresh peaches, peeled and halved
5 teaspoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon butter or margarine

DIRECTIONS
In a bowl, thoroughly mash raspberries and lemon juice. Cover and pop into the refrigerator

Place the peach halves on a foil lined cookie sheet.
Stir the brown sugar and cinnamon together and then sprinkle into each center. Sprinkle with vanilla and then add a tiny bit of butter to each. Pop into an oven just long enough to warm up the peaches and melt the sugar. To serve, spoon the raspberry sauce over peaches and then watch everyone drool.

A Little Trivia

*Peaches used to be known as Persian Apples

*If you have hopes of picking your own peaches, be sure to get to the fields early. If you arrive after lunch, there might be no peaches left. Been there and done that!

Save Those Peach Pits

I was just reading that if you plant them outside during the fall, there is a good chance that a tree will grow from the pit. To get fruit... you are going to have to learn big time patience.

    This summer was the first year we tried fresh peaches. I bought a little basket for $2.99. They were absolutely wonderful. We are not a big fan of peach fuzz so we pored boiling water over them and wiped the skins away.
