Peaches

OK, so I was at the Nashoba Valley Winery on Saturday with [livejournal.com profile] jducoeur, and they had fresh peaches for sale. They'd sell you a small bag and let you select your fruit from their baskets (or for a different price, you could go out to the trees and pick your own).

Anyway, the small bag wasn't nearly as small as it had looked empty, and I now have lots of fresh peaches.

Serving/preserving ideas are invited! (Note that I have never canned anything & don't yet know how.)

Peach cobbler? Do I do the same as apple crisp (peel and slice/cube the fruit, top with mixture of brown sugar, butter and flour)?

It's like apple cobbler, more than apple crisp (though you can make peach crisp, too) - peel the fruit, slice it in big chunks (the texture of the peaches is part of the appeal). Melt some butter in a casserole dish, put the peaches in, top with some cinnamon and sugar. Make a sweet biscuit dough and glop it onto the peaches, bake until it looks done. :)

I can bring the recipe with me tomorrow night, if you like. I can also throw in a marvelous recipe for Peach and Blueberry Pie....

Yes, please! There are blueberries going to waste around here too :)
