They are like no other. I slice and freeze them and we all eat them right out of the defrosted bag. They are delicious. I love all of these other ideas. I will have to remember for this summer!

Old Spice always takes me back to my grandpa. I have a Nesco dehydrater that I got off Amazon after reading the reviews and I'm very happy with it. They make several models and mine is the "professional" or something like that which is silly. I've since bought more trays & more fruit leather liners because if you are going to run it you may as well pack stuff in there. I love it! The neighbor brought me 40 pounds of plums today and I had picked up 60 pounds of apples Sat with the peaches so I've got plums & apples in there right now. And then once you make applesauce to freeze or can you just plop it on the tray and next day you have amazing sugar free fruit leather for the kids (if you have any). I've been meaning to do a dehydrating post when I find the time because I've been drying everything - even grated zucchini to throw into muffins all winter and sliced zucchini for minestrone. Have fun with whichever you get and do get the Mary Bell book Amazon wants you to buy - it's full on tons of info and recipes for things like dried yogurt leather, corn chips, dried pickles, etc. Tom - I'd love to see some of your peach recipes on your site. I bet you have a bunch! Gabriella, I love the thought of you with your grammy and peaches. Old Spice always takes me back to my grandpa.

I grew up having several peach trees, so the smell of peach brings me back home with my Grammy. I am looking into getting a dehydrator. Can you tell me what brand/model you have and any pros/cons to it? Inspiring as always!! I grew up having several peach trees, so the smell of peach brings me back home with my Grammy.

I had guessed you were in finance from your writing style - isn't that funny? I used to be in finance as well before I left the rat race. I'm so glad you are enjoying your stint right now and impressed that you are managing the garden, blog, forum & all that! xo, Annette You are so sweet – and I am enjoying the other blogs you’ve nominated as well.

That all sounds so delicious that I am going to have to go get a snack after I hit submit on this comment! You have been very very busy obviously. I love the smell of peaches when I am busy processing them. I did not get any this year and now I am feeling pretty sorry about that choice. By the way, I want to let you know that I have passed along to you a meme award. You may read about it on my blog entry today. WOW!
