Georgia Peaches
In the early 1990's Tree-Ripe Fruit started selling high quality produce direct from the growers and packers to various location in the Midwest from a climate controlled truck. Yesterday the truck was scheduled to stop in my hometown for and hour and a half.
The heat and humidity did not deter us from standing in line to purchase these luscious, mouthwatering Georgia peaches.
For 35 dollars, I brought home a half bushel of peaches. The box contained 65 freestone Georgia peaches. Also for sale were Michigan blueberries, but I'm not a fan of blueberries, so I passed on that purchase.
I will of course be sharing these with my friends and family.
Can't wait until the weather cools down so I can bake a peach pound cake, but until then I will be using this recipe with some of my peaches.
This is a recipe from the Tree-Ripe Citrus web-site:
Peaches and Cream
grilled peaches and ice cream
Coat the sliced peaches in melted butter,
and sprinkle on a generous coating of
brown sugar, with a pinch of salt
Grill over medium for about 3-4 minutes per side,
serve warm, with a scoop of good quality vanilla ice cream
YUMMO
What a fun find you have with this peach truck. A great summer memory and the recipe is to die for! I loved your comment about my little vintage pitchers. The shape is unusual-that must be what caught my eye. Hope you had a great 4th!
ReplyDeleteMmmmm, peaches! They remind me of a childhood hoilday in France, the peaches were the size of your fist (although my mum did bite into one to be greeted by a giant maggot).Rx

My husband brought home about nine, all just a bit overripe. I made my first ever cobbler and we had my mom and uncle over. Raves. Nothing, nothing like a fresh peach!
