Back By Popular Demand. . . Peaches

This is a great time to be in Colorado. The Rocky Ford melons are in season and so are Colorado peaches. For the past few years both have really been good. But this year the peaches are exceptional.

I bought a case and we are slowly working our way through them. So far, we have had: peaches right out of the box, cereal and peaches, I made peach breakfast bread, peaches and ice cream, and peaches on grilled pork. Last night I thought about just grilling peaches. Take a peach split it open and remove the pit, put it on aluminum foil skin side down, add a pad of butter, a little cinnamon and sugar, and wait patiently until it is warmed through. Kind of like a peach pie without the crust. I may have to try it.

I am considering going to the western slope to get another case but I’m not sure I wanted to get into all that canning activity this year. I canned a bunch last year but it took the whole day.
