We Picked Way Too Many Peaches…Ideas?

Yesterday we picked way too many peaches at the home of our friends’ Nancy and Sam. After giving many away, I still have about 12 gallons of peaches that I need to process. Aside from making jam, ice cream, compote, liqueur, sherbert and even freezing them, I am looking for suggestions…

    Fruit leather. Delicious, preserves well, useful for snacking or experimenting (try snipping it into cookies, or scones) and you can try combos with other fruits…

    By the way, I once did the same thing with blueberries at a pick-your-own place in upstate New York. They gave out those 10 gallon industrial buckets for picking. Thought I only had a small amount but ended up with 8 lbs. The biggest problem was that we were on vacation and I had no means to freeze or preserve. I baked a lot of deep dish pies….

  3. Karen, Thank you for the suggestion. I attempted Peach Fruit Leather today with limited success. Your comment inspired me to experiment on making fruit leather from peaches.
