Driving through the peach orchards in southern Ontario

is a feast for the eye in the spring.  The trees in bloom
are beyond magnificent.  And in the late summer when
the peaches begin to show up in the farmer's market,
fruit lovers have good reason to be excited.  It's hard
to imagine a more delicious end of summer treat.

My husband, Steven, is passionate about peaches

and starts asking market people when he can buy 

peaches for canning early in August.  The season

is a bit late this year, because we had a long,

slow, colder than normal spring.  So this past

weekend he brought home two bushels of the 

most gorgeous peaches.  And they are so delicious.

Today he canned dozens of jars of the precious

beauties, so that we can have delicious fresh

tasting peaches all winter. 

Have a loving your peaches day.
