I went to the store yesterday morning to get a last minute ingredient for something I was making for my son's birthday party, and they had peaches on sale for .99 a lb. They were really big and pretty peaches so I could'nt resist, and I bought a bag full of them. I just finished one and it was delicious. When was the last time you had a sweet juicy peach? I will count canned peaches too?

What good timing for this discussion. I just had a fresh, juicy peach just a couple of days ago.
We had a fruit truck come up from the Okanagan full of just picked fruit. A friend of mine splurged majorly and we've been snacking on fresh fruit all week - peached, nectarined, apricots and cherries.
All fresh picked and oh so very yummy.

IMO a canned peach doesn't hold candle to a sweet perfectly ripened peach. My husband and I actually just bought some peaches last night. They were great. Perfectly sweet, juicy (to the point of running down your arm) WinnDixie has them .99 a lb right now... Do you live near a WinnDixie? lol This is the first year in a while that I have seen some nice peaches, which sucks, living in GA you think I'd be abl to find them all the time!!
Durn, now I want another peach lol.

Yesterday afternoon actually. My mom had gone to see her parents, which live about two and a half hours away from her. She came back with peaches, tomatoes, and squash from a stand near where her parents live. They always have the freshest produce. Yesterday my mom gave me one of the peaches, and it was divine! Canned peaches just can't hold a candle to fresh peaches.

Its been a while, I was at the market when we lived in Cali and they had a lot of fruit I hadn't eaten in forever. I did get some plums and when I bit into it the juice ran down my arms, good stuff baby!

I had one this weekend! I belong to a local food organic co-op, and I get organic produce delivered to my door once a week, and there were peaches in the last batch.
Yummy! I don't eat canned fruit, so I couldn't tell you the last time I had a canned peach. Too much sugar, too many preservatives! I prefer the real thing!
