Unfortunately, I can't take credit for growing all this wonderful stuff! The peppers are from Heidi's garden, the honeydew from Eric's garden, the cucumber from G&G Vawdrey's garden and the peaches, squash, and zuchini are from our yard. I got a ton of tomatoes from G&G Vawdrey and turned them into a HUGE batch of salsa! (I can't believe I forgot to take a picture of that!)Here is our peach harvest. Doesn't seem like a lot (honestly the picture doesn't really show how much there is), but considering that our peach tree is really only a branch nowadays, this is quite luscious! Sadly, the peaches are rather small this year and they were about a week and a half late due to the wet cold spring we had.
However, the peach branch harvest managed to give me 14 quarts of bottle peaches, a batch of jam, some to munch on and...
this yummy peach cheesecake dessert! I think our tree has THE best peaches in the world, but that's because I can pick them when they are perfectly ripe.
I discovered this recipe in the newspaper a couple of years or so ago -- a Brigham City Peach Days winner. (If anyone wants the recipe, e-mail me)
G&G Vawdrey have a HUGE pear tree and if we get lucky, the pears aren't wormy! I got lucky -- and bottled these 7 quarts. The pears were also smaller this year than in past years, but they still taste great!
And lastly, this is my most favorite treat of the season: raspberries picked fresh from our yard! Add a bit of sugar and milk and enjoy!
