Hey yall...got a 25 lb. box of peaches to can and freeze...problem now is we have covid!
How long will they last before I have to do something with em?
I don't want em to go bad!
If they won't make it til weekend, then what is the least intensive method of preserving them til I can do the stuff I wanted with em like canning peach salsa and peach pie filling.

I have used them peeled pitted and frozen. They were pretty mushy in ziplock bags but made wonderful jam and desserts. I’m sorry you’re sick!

This time of year, I have to do my baking in the morning. It was 102 yesterday and 104 the day before.

We have been seeing those temps lately too. Luckily though it’s a little cooler this week.

Is there a secret to getting the parchment paper into the pan so nicely? Mine always turns out like a train wreck when I try to do that.

I cut the parchment with scissors. Then bend up. I coat the base of pan with Spray butter or oil. That holds the parchment from wandering. I also use parchment in square pans. Cut at the corners, and fold where bottom meets the side. Also use spray, or brush on oil.
Parchment makes pan cleanup soooooooo much less work. Cake comes out of pan effortlessly

Nice! I want to make the cake with fresh peaches and top with some brown sugar.

Mom use to make same basic cake with plum halves. When they will be ripe, and in season,, (at grocery market,, soon) I intend to get a bag, and bake with them

Many years ago I worked with a German woman who baked a plum cake with plum halves set in just like that! It wasn’t very sweet and she liked it very brown. I liked it so thanks for bringing this cake up, I’m going to try it.

Here is a pie that I made today. Fresh black raspberries grown in my backyard.
Black Raspberry Pie
Ingredients:
Any store bought pie crust should do fine. ( I did make my own though)
6 cups black raspberries rinsed and put through a juicer to take the seeds out
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup brown sugar, plus a little extra to sprinkle on top of pie
1/3 cup granulated sugar
( I used 15% less brown and granulated sugar and it was still sweet enough )
1/4 cup all purpose flower
1/4 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp butter
1 egg white
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 425° F (219° C)Place bottom pie crust on greased 9 inch pie dish.
Mix pureed berries, brown sugar, regular sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt in large mixing bowl.
Pour filling onto the pie crust.
Break up little pieces of butter and place on top of filling.
Top with pie crust (some variation allowed for personal preference) if you do go with a solid top, make a few holes in it to let the steam out as it's baking.

Mix the egg white with a Tbsp of water and brush onto the top of the pie.
Sprinkle a little brown sugar over the pie and put it in the oven for 35 minutes.
Eat with vanilla ice cream if you would like to.

Good Pie Crust (unknown author)
Ingredients:
I had to double this recipe to do a top and bottom crust.
1 1/2 cup flour ( I used Ezekiel flour and added 1/4 cup baby oats )
1 1/2 tsp sugar ( I used raw sugar )
1 tsp salt ( I used sea salt )
1/2 cup oil ( I used coconut oil )
2 Tbsp milk ( I used goats milk )
Mix oil and milk, then add dry ingredients. Pat into 9" pie pan.
Bake crust at 425°F ( 219°C )for 8-12 minutes, before adding the filling. (I baked it for 10 minutes and it was perfect)
The main reason the pie does not have a solid top is because the ingredients I used for the crust was prohibitive for it. ( it just fell apart)

My wife thinks this is an excellent pie! She usually does most of the baking, but I had an inspiration a couple weeks ago and this is the fruition of it. T

I also decided to try some black raspberry cookies. The base is chocolate chip cookie dough. I added some black raspberry pie filling to the cookie dough along with semi sweet chocolate chips. The dark cookies are black raspberry and the purplish ones are black raspberry w/ lemon juice added. The blonde cookies are regular chocolate chip cookies.
