Peaches


So Yesterday we finaly made it to pick peaches we went to  Doles Orchard in Limerick.  Wegot up early, they only have morning hours and it's a bit of a trek and picked yellow and white peaches in the rain, hence no pictures from the orchard. 

We made peach pie and chopped peaches for jam yesterday.  So first i boiled them for 30 seconds approx. 

then they went in the ice bath and were peeled, most pretty easily, with the occasional stubborn one. 

They are so  pretty and yummy!!

Then we added sugar to make syrup for the pie filling, which I wont share the recipe because my pie was a flop, it tasted great but did not hold together at all!


All the while after a long weeks work tony was slaving away on our new coop for our meet chickens.  



 Winter came out with me to check on the chicks.  Fetching Hope
The rest of the flock

  1. Tony did a great job on the coop, must be great to have some permanent housing for them, that's not in your basement!
