What did I do with all these peaches?
- dried peaches for snacks
- made peach fruit leather
- made food for Baby
- flash froze sliced peaches for use during the non peach season (I would say winter, but could not possibly do that with a straight face considering we are melting here right now!)
- made peach pie filling
I have been making peach pie filling and freezing it in freezer bags...here is my incredibly complicated recipe!
Freezer Peach Pie Filling
5 cups of sliced peaches (about 6 should do it)
1 cup of sugar
1/3 cup flour
Mix well, if it is too dry to mix well, let sit a couple minutes and try again.
Once mixed well move to freezer bag, squeeze out all the air and freeze flat. (Remember to clearly label!)
When you are ready to cook your pie, the night (or late afternoon in my case), make your pie crust and stash it in the fridge, before bed pull out the pie filling and stash it in the fridge overnight too.
In the morning assemble your pie, lightly sugar the top of your pie crust and bake as follows:
425F for 10 minutes
350F for 40 minutes or until crust is nicely golden brown.
Cool somewhat and serve....with vanilla bean ice cream...and call me to come over and sample!

Okay, can you share how you "flash-froze" your peaches? Their are on tremendous sale right now and I desperately want to add some to my freezer for later this Fall/Winter. I've frozen other fruits--berries--but never peaches.

I just sliced them and arranged them on a half sheet pan or cookie sheet that was lined with some waxed paper (parchment works too). Once frozen I moved them to zip top bags.
Once you freeze them like this though they are only good for baking.
oops, forgot to mention that I pealed them first and probably more like cut time in 6ths or 8ths.
