i recently received my june issue of cooking light magazine. (i have to say, my love for the magazine is slowly declining due to all the tons of ads and articles and not enough recipes- more recipes please!) in one of the articles this question was asked: "what summer food defined your childhood, and what are you excited about now?" well that's an easy answer- peaches! i grew up in georgia and summer was the best because of peaches!
the best day would be the day we got up at 3 am to get ready to go to talbotton to pick our own peaches. by the end of the day our baskets and stomachs were full of gorgeous golden peaches. i would eat them straight from the tree, and then my great great aunts would make peach jam, peach ice cream, peach pie, and cobbler! they would also do some canning to preserve the peaches over the summer into fall and then some pickling, which i am not much into, but i ate those peaches any way they were prepared. to this day, it still remains my favorite fruit because not only are they delicious, but they take me back to all those hot summers in georgia and i can't wait for them to come into season. the peaches here don't taste the same as georgia peaches, and when i go shopping for them it's always hit or miss. but boy, what i wouldn't give for one of those giant, luscious, golden georgia peaches right now!
i wanna make this right now:
