The Perfect Peach
When I was a kid we used to drive up on the Blue Ridge parkway to a little picnic spot with my grandparents. On the drive home, we'd often stop at the Bent Mountain farm stand. They've been there since 1981. They always had the best peaches. The type bursting with flavor and juice.

It's so perfect it doesn't even look real. Peaches are my favorite fruit, and I was giddy when I smelled this one. The fuzz was so fine you could barely even see it. And they flavor? Just as perfect as the appearance!

Our cold spring killed most of the peaches in this area, they will be coming from the south this year!
ReplyDeletezwarte bessen . ze zijn haast niet meer te krijgen maar als je daar sap van maakt. fantastisch een godendrank.
ReplyDeleteI am with you on peaches. I always have them around in season, and canned in the off season.I grill them with basalmic vinegar and brown sugar
ReplyDeleteMy mouth is watering just looking at that peach! I thought it was a nectarine at first--soooo smooth looking! I love fresh peaches cut up with just a little sugar.
ReplyDeleteThat sure is a good looking peach. I think I prefer apples above all but I like peaches too!!!
ReplyDeletePeaches are my favorite but only fresh ones, can't stand the hard picked-green things at the store. I have peach trees but haven't had a peach in years as when they don't freeze, the stink bug plague attacks them. They must use some strong poison to keep the bugs away.
ReplyDeleteNothing beats a good peach, and that one sure looks good! Beautiful peach, beautiful memory with your grandparents, Lisa. :)

It does look perfect. i'd love to see the follow up photo with a big bite missing!
ReplyDeleteIt IS perfect and beautiful! We go to Chiles Peach Orchard in Greenville. They are huge, and also have a vegetable garden and flower garden, all for picking. They have a pumpkin patch in the fall, and activities for kids. And in the spring when the trees bloom, all the mountains are pink! Phil worked in a peach orchard as a kid for his grandfather, so he is really picky about his peaches. He said he would come home and his skin would be covered in fuzz. I think he would approve of this one.
ReplyDeleteYUM! nothing like a perfect peach. Nothing worse than a woody one. blech!
ReplyDeleteOh wow...that looks delicious!!! I enjoy just about any fruit, but fresh peaches, fresh mango, fresh anything!
ReplyDeleteWe have what's called, "The Fruit Truck" stop by here. They go to Texas, Georgia and other places. They drive a truck overnight to load up on organic fruits to bring them back here. I just got a case of Georgia peaches. They are so good. I took some over to my parents. Travis cut some up to put in the freezer. The rest we're eating. Nom Nom
ReplyDeleteoh my... that is a perfect peach!!
ReplyDeleteLooks so yummy! Something that we can't find here.
ReplyDeleteI like most any fruit! If I had to pick a fave, I'd say cranberries. :)
ReplyDeletePeaches,, strawberrys and watermelon!
