Peach Season is Here!


First it was the blueberries and now the peaches have ripened here in Western Michigan. Kevin and I took full advantage of the season this week by going to one of our local orchards and picking about 15 pounds. We've been eating peaches like crazy ever since. Not a bad thing either when you bite into a peach and juice literally splatters on all your clothes. These peaches have been heavenly. Thank you Crane Orchards for a beautiful crop!


Next week apple season starts. Kevin and I go a little berserk during this time as well. We pick so many varieties and types our taste buds get confused. Hmmm..I can't wait!


With all this fresh fruit, I've been trying my hand at some new recipes. I've had a couple winners. The crumbles have by far been the best, but I'm holding my own in the pie department, as well. Not even close to my moms outstanding baking skills, but I'm learning a bit more each year.

The pie looks delicious! I need to take some lessons from you and I love your new background! I can't believe you still remember the peeing dilema coming home from my Uncle Randy's way back when. I am still laughing at that one lol! We have some great memories together Tami! Love you!

I'm thinking we need to exchange a couple of recipes. This looks great! I just went and picked up a box of peaches from my dad tonight. Now I need to figure out what to do with them 'quick'! Mary gave me a recipe for her peach honey...it's to die for and so simple. Good luck with all those peaches!

I just scrolled down and saw this post. I too just got a 20 lb. box of peaches yesterday and I am going to bottle most of them. Nothing is better that bottled peaches, I have ran out of them a long time ago. I am NOT a pie maker, but yours looks wonderful! Great job! I wish that I could get some apples. That would be the best! Have fun with all of it!
