This week I have eaten raspberry, black berry, peach, and cherry pies. I’m going into the kitchen now to make strawberry rhubarb pie. A month ago I was making a cherry pie every other day to keep up with our one little tree. But I haven’t found the peaches yet to justify making a peach pie. I’ll try to hit the farmer’s market next Saturday.

I doubt that is the case.

I love strawberry rhubarb pie!

[X-spurt]

Just having some nice fresh Pittsburg peaches fried pies. Just let that ho moochelle try to tell us doodley squat.

[Red_Devil 232]

I haven’t had a rhubarb pie since my family lived in California in the 50’s. My Mother also made mango pies when we lived in Hawaii.

I use “Ripe N Ragged” Elberta peaches. Much peachier flavor and texture. Clings are slimy and hard. And Bisquik or other good biscuit batter for topping. Gotta go before the drool shorts out my keyboard...

"Sve your concience and use Cool Whip instead of aaace cream. Bonus is that it allows for an extra hep’n."

Nothing in my conscience about it but the FLOUR. I'm a full-fat eater. Butter, not margarine, NO veg oils, full-cream whipped cream, bacon, lots of whole eggs, etc. The only thing in a cobbler that doesn't like me is the wheat in the flour.

"Homemade Peach ice cream is the bomb!"

Whenever I make homemade ice cream, I use full-fat heavy cream, whole milk, AIGS, and Elberta peaches. There's just something about the sound of that (old-fashioned) ice cream maker lugging down that makes my mouth water!

Mom used the red cling peaches and Bisquick. Just give me a sheet pan of that old fashioned peach cobbler and a spoon. Maybe a glass of milk to help wash it down.

I’m heaven bound. Want some?

I haven’t been able to find ‘elberta’ peaches for several years. I have even thought of ordering them online.

I really dislike ‘clings’.

[Carriage Hill]

Awww, man, you’re making me very hungry!

[Salgak]

Of course, for the absolute PEAK of perfection, that Peach Cobbler ala mode needs to be on Blue Bell Vanilla Ice Cream. . .

[redhead]

Yah, there’s really no comparison between them. Clings are really tasteless after Elbertas. I’ve been able to get Elbertas at Costco occasionally. There is a local chain of “Membership without membership” warehouse stores that stocks them, so they are still available.

or Blue Bunny. Or Dreyers. Or Edy’s. Or Breyers. BEST IS HOMEMADE. Bar none.

Our summer treats were homemade, hand-cranked ice cream or strawberry shortcake.

Fairly often we would go berry picking and get fresh blackberries to make a cobbler (a few berries got eaten in the picking process). Yep, those were good too.

[Carriage Hill]

If you cull-out 30-40% of the tree's unripened fruit, the rest which ripens will be much, much sweeter and larger since all of the tree's 'energies' will go into ripening the remaining fruit. Slightly smaller yield, but a much superior final product. Ripening fruit require a *lot* of H₂O. Old nursery growers' trick.

Thanks for the tip. Great site!

We don’t have peaches ready yet here in IL & the ones I buy at the market are sour & seeds hard to remove. They say peaches will be earlier than usual this year tho. Can’t wait!!
