I love apple butter...but peach butter sounds even better. Love peaches. If they're in season, I should check prices on 'em next time I'm at the store...

I remember when we first moved here...I went into a store and smelled the most heavenly peach aroma...I saw a display in front of me that said "California Peaches" and I went over and picked up one and took a big whiff. Smelled just like cardboard. I thought "Where is that delicious aroma coming from?" I went around the other side of the display and it said "Porter Peaches" (from Porter Oklahoma) and I picked one up and sniffed and oh, the scent was so good!

Now here it is, years down the road and the owners of that peach orchard are homeschooling friends of ours from church and that's where Steve hunts.

They gave us these seconds this time, but I have bought peaches from them in the past that were so perfect that they were flawless. Out of an entire bushel, we only could find TWO that had any blemish at all and they were still perfectly good enough to eat.
