Millions of Peaches, Peaches for Me!
So yesterday my two sisters went to the church orchard here and picked about a million peaches for hours while I watched the kids. Combined they definitely got over 100 lbs of peaches all for free! So Misti and I have been going crazy baking, freezing etc, and looking up all recipes that involve peaches. Today we made 7 quarts of peach pie filling, 3 batches of homemade fruit leather, and 1 batch of dried peaches. Oh man, and we still have so many peaches left! We're planning of freezing a lot for smoothies, crepes, casseroles, muffins, etc. The homemade fruit leather has been our favorite recipe so far and by far the easiest. Misti, Carson and I ate the whole pan last night! The best thing about it is that it only take 4 peaches and 1 TBS of honey. SOOOO EASY AND SOOO YUMMY. If you've never heard of fruit leather it's basically a homemade fruit roll-up.
So here's the recipe....seriously...try it.
4 peaches (you don't have to peel, we didn't and it was just fine)
1 TBS Honey
Wash peaches. Blend/puree all ingredients in food processor, Vitamix, or blender (you will have to blend a little longer since regular blenders aren't as powerful). You can also add other fruit like strawberries, raspberries etc so it has more than one flavor.
Pour mixture onto cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, or you can use a dehydrator if you have one. We used our oven and baked it for 3-3 1/2 hrs at 200 deg.
Let cool. Enjoy
If some of it turns out a little crispier than other parts (the edges mostly) then let sit over night and it will become soft and chewy again!
