Or in my case, freeze a peach.
At today’s market, I picked up a basket full of seconds from Lewis orchards. Brought them home, blanched them, cut them up and put them away to become something good (like a galette) this winter. Whenever I can find the seconds, they are a great deal for getting peaches to freeze.
Or, maybe we will head out to Larriland this week. Peaches and blackberries. To round out my fruit stash for next winter.
Today I also oven dried and froze my first pan of cherry and roma tomatoes.
I oven dry tomatoes after slow roasting them at 250 degrees for two or so hours. They were liberally sprinkled with pepper, dusted with salt and sugar, and tossed in olive oil before roasting.
These beauties will brighten a winter day in a pasta dish.
I have to admit, there are five fruits that I associate with July and August. Tomatoes, watermelon, cantaloupe, peaches and blackberries.
Yes, tomatoes are a fruit. A lovely fruit but not the same as those incredibly soft juicy ripe peaches.
And, yes, food savers are amazing devices.
You just have to use the moist setting, normal and leave lots of room so the juice doesn’t all leak out.
