Actually I saw those last Saturday while produce shopping. Didn't get any went with regular ol peaches.

My Step Mom used to pickle apples DELISH!

Must be apple season somewhere because there were at least 12 different kinds on sale.

We are enjoying our Okanagan valley peaches, I can't get enough of them. Karen has promised me some peach pie, BRING IT ON!!! :D
We purchased some in Bend Oregon the other day, they were very sweet, almost had a liqueur like flavor. I can't quite describe it but man were they good.

Welcome to the Forestry Forum, ron barnes.

How about an intro thread and telling about your wood/sawing interest?

Sure missed those Poston Pickled Peaches at the Pig roast :'(

Hello Everyone

I am not sure where to put this note. I have been looking at this forum for several years but never signed up. I don't have any sawmills nor will ever have one. I certainly enjoy watching one operate though. I have a pretty full shop of normal woodworking stuff. I am semi-retired. Still taking an occasional contract if the money is good. I have worked as a Tech Writer for DOE sites for the past 25 years. Prior to that I spent 22 years in the USAF.

I love to eat. My wife and MIL are both very good cooks so I am getting spoiled and fat.

I really enjoy working on the lathe. Only have a small Delta 12 inch lathe. Probably won't get anything larger for quite awhile.

I live on the Etowah river in Cartersville, GA.

It sounds like you will fit in quite nicely in the General Woodworking board. The General Board is for stuff, but since most every thread eventually gets to Food, and you said that you liked food, you will fit in quite nicely anywhere.

Welcome Ron,

You are just up the road, about 3 hours North of me. A small distance in this day and age. If you want to run a sawmill, come down and we will saw a log. Cheaper than buying one, for sure ;D.

Just show them some fresh picked blueberries from Maine or huckleberries if you live in Idaho, Montana, Washington or Oregon.

For you guys that like a little heat and spice with your peaches, here is a recipe for Spiced Peach Habanero Jam we got about a week ago. We haven't tried it yet, but we have tons of habanero, so we need to do something with them. But using one pepper per batch it is going to take a lot of jam to use them all up.

Sugar Free Spiced Peach Habanero Jam

yeild 2 - 1/2pints

2 Cups crushed peaches
1 Habanero - mix with peaches while in processor seeds included
1/4 tsp Ginger
1/8 tsp allspice
1/8 tsp cinnamon

1/2 c Splenda
1 & 1/2 TBS no sugar needed pectin
cook for 15 min then add Splenda and pectin. Cook for about 5 min until boil

Put in hot jars and Process for 10 min or place in refrigerator.

This is a recipe we got from Dirt Ditch over on tractorbynet.

Edit: There is a sugar recipe too. This just happened to be the one I found. Larro

The Peach Lady has her sign out. She came over about a week ago. Her health is not the best. :( The trees are loaded she told us. I hope you sells alot. We drove by an apple orchard and saw peaches on the sign. Those are her peaches.

I just got back from SC where my wife and MIL went and picked some more peaches. I will be eating peaches and gram crackers tonight. ;D ;D

Just found this in a ranch cookbook from 1959.
I make pickled pumpkin rinds , somewhat similar.

Pickled Peaches

Peaches enough for 8 quarts
16 cups sugar
8 cups vinegar
8 sticks cinnamon
8 Tablespoons whole cloves

Scald peaches with hot water, peel and drop into cold water. Make a syrup of the above ingredients and bring to a boil. Drop in peaches. Cook until heated through. Seal in jars while hot.
