Freezing Peaches
I spent yesterday afternoon freezing delicious Georgia peaches, to be enjoyed in the middle of winter as evidence that there was a summer this year!
The peaches this year have been so good that I decided to try to freeze some, something I've never done before. I found directions on PickYourOwn.org and bought about 10 pounds of peaches.
1. Wash peaches
2. Boil for 45 seconds
3. Put in cold water for 1 minute
4. Peel skin off (I was amazed at how easy this was!)
5. Cut as desired and put in sweetener (4:1 ratio water/sugar with 1/4 cup lemon juice)
Oliver was very intrigued by what I was doing, but wasn't a fan of the peach skins I gave him.
6. Spoon into freezer storage (ziplocs)
To be enjoyed in January and February!

Yummmm! Great with ice cream or Cointreau or both. Love, 'Uncle Kenny'
Oh, freezing peaches reminds me of my childhood. My next favorite childhood food storage memory is my mom baking pumpkin and freezing it to be used in warmer months.
