Stand over kitchen sink; consume all three. Rinse and dry arms and face. No sugar needed. No cooking.

She also made the best peach cobbler. I asked her for the recipe once and she said a little of this and a little of that. Watched her make it and she didnt use any measuring cups either.

Chilten County is in ALABAMA, right across the state line from Quitman MS. There is nothing in RSJ message about Georgia peaches. <br /><br />Yes, Quitman MS does produce good peaches, almost as good as those across the state line in Alabama. Same soil type generally, so similar peaches. <br /><br />Third grade reading test seems to be needed by several JJ readers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-91290441673603164632022-06-22T14:27:32.507-05:002022-06-22T14:27:32.507-05:00@ 11:02 Doesn't it say that his wife peels th...@ 11:02 Doesn't it say that his wife peels them and puts them in the refrigerator?

This is one of my favorite recipes to use with them. I use a cheap bourbon like Jim Beam. The jam keeps its color for about 7 or 8 months, hard to make enough to last that long though.<br /><br />Vanilla Peach Bourbon Jam<br />adapted from Bean Town Baker<br />Note: makes about a dozen 8oz jars<br /><br />Before you begin either wash jars in the dishwasher on the extra hot water cycle, or wash them with hot soapy water and boil them for 10 minutes, leaving them on dry or in the boiling water until you need them for your jam. This sterilizes the jar and lengthens the shelf life of your jam. I ran them through the dishwasher on the sterilize cycle.<br /><br />1 package no sugar pectin - I used Ball No Sugar needed box<br />6 pounds peaches<br />4 cups sugar<br />6 Tbsp lime juice<br />1 vanilla bean, split and cut into 1-inch pieces<br />6 Tbsp bourbon - I used Jim Beam<br />1.5 tsp almond extract<br /><br />- The recipe suggests you blanch the peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds, submerge in an ice bath and then slip off the skins, but my peaches were prudes and that method didn't work, so I just used a peeler. Chop the peaches roughly into 1/4 inch dice, removing the pits.<br /><br />- Put the peaches, sugar, and lime juice into a large non-reactive pot and smash/blend the suckers into a rough pulp using either a potato masher or an immersion blender.<br /><br />- Put the pot over medium-high heat, add the vanilla pieces and bring the peach mixture to a rolling boil, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. Boil for 1 minute, then add the pectin. Bring the jam to a rolling boil once more, stirring constantly, and boil exactly 1 minute.<br /><br />- Remove the jam from heat. Stir in the bourbon and extract, ladle the hot jam into jars, and screw on the lids. Then set the jars on a rack in a large pot of boiling water--the water should be 1 inch above the jar tops. I just washed the pot I made the jam in (the only big pot I own), put the jars in, made sure they were under an inch of water and turned it on high.<br /><br />- Bring the water to a gentle boil and boil the jars for 10 minutes. Then remove the jars from the hot water and set aside to cool. You should hear the lids popping within a few minutes of their bath.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-14772649957170392892022-06-22T11:56:44.384-05:002022-06-22T11:56:44.384-05:0011:02, read the second paragraph!!11:02, read the second paragraph!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-80609193143129244282022-06-22T11:31:01.850-05:002022-06-22T11:31:01.850-05:0011:02, he never said anything about Georgia.

They are delicious and juicy and give GA peaches a run for their money. Visit Mathis Produce on Hwy 45. (and no I don't have any connection to Mathis . . . just a Meridian-born Mississippian who knows where to get good peaches)<br />Disappointed to see a MS resident/chef touting the wonders of GA peaches when we have delicious peaches grown LOCALLY.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-85390564558798055692022-06-22T11:02:36.993-05:002022-06-22T11:02:36.993-05:00Love fresh peaches too!
