PIE! Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I just got 40 lbs of peaches!!! I ate one last night and it was delicious, but quite a bit more firm than I would normally eat. I'm planning on freezing about half (smoothies!), then making pie filling, peach butter, and maybe other things from the other half. Do I wait for them to soften up a bit or do I start the processing now? Hmm - seems that I can't stop asking food questions. Maybe you all can tell I didn't have much fresh food growing up ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelsi Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 The ones we get are from a guy who sells them on the side of the road - I think they're from CA but they're always firm when we buy them and then in 1-2 days they are absolutely perfect for eating/baking. You can also put them in brown paper bags to help ripen/soften them up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer3141 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I waited for mine to ripen before making peach butter and peach pie filling. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
