The children were much better today and I even had time to work on our favorite winter desert. Peach with LOTS of yummy sugar syrup! MMMMMM
When the Colorado peaches are ready I buy several boxes and beat the children away from them. I let them sit for a few days till the skin is soft enough to pull off easily.
Oh, so perfect....
Cut them up (8 cups worth), mix with a cup of sugar and 2 T spoons of Fruitfresh, seal and freeze.
And because I was in the mood, I even made two easy Country Peach Tarts. They freeze so easily, though I am sure that we will eat them before I need to freeze them.
I "forced" the children to play outside while I finished up these peaches. They rewarded this (the four youngest) by playing in the mud hole down the road. My solution...stay outside till daddy gets home.He just walked in...and I am a firm believer in sharing the fun! That's OK, after a long day at work he finds it refreshing to "get his hands dirty". Works for us! LOL
Those peaches look so good! I think I can smell the tart through the computer. Yummy!

Praising God for men who like to get their hands dirty!!!!!
Oh I'm glad you posted this. There is a huge peach orchard down the road from us and I was wanting to get some to freeze but wasn't sure how to do it. Yay! Thanks!

ReplyDeleteI just got our interent up and running again--sure wish I could say the same thing about myself :-( Robin and the gilrs arrived yesterday. We have not had a whole lot of time to catch up due to the wonder of jet leg, haha! and I am still not feeling well....I loved your last few posts. Sorry for the hard day but thanks for your openess--I completely understand. And yes, I am always seeking and asking the Lord to reveal to me my children's gifts/talents so that I can help to encourage them along in what the Lord has. Love and miss you. Mama in Uganda.
