Preserving peaches at their peak

Preserving peaches at their peak

Even though August is slated as National Peach Month, peaches can be enjoyed year-round as can many fruits and vegetables. In season just means it is time to enjoy them at their peak ripeness. Depending on the variety, peaches are usually harvested from late June to late August, in Texas. So, whether you are picking from a tree in your backyard, or off the shelf at your favorite grocery store or farmers market, don’t be afraid to buy in bulk when you find a good sale. You can put the extras up by freezing or canning to enjoy year-round. You can call the Extension office to get recipes for preserving your harvest. Fruit usually goes on sale when it is in season, so buying at this time will save you money and you can freeze the rest for year-round enjoyment. 08/07/2024 06:05 AM
