Dehydrating Peaches

NOTE: If you want to make dehydrating peaches a little easier on yourself, how about dehydrating frozen peaches! Just a thought ... Yes, I know they're already processed, i.e. 'storable' but you'll be freeing up room in your freezer!

If using frozen peaches, ignore steps 1 and 2.

Wash fresh peaches, peel if desired, remove the pit, and either slice in half, or cut into 1/4" slices
Fresh peaches need to be pre-treated, so toss the peaches in a bowl and spray liberally with lemon juice TIP: Use a pump-top from a new unused spray bottle, pick one that fits your lemon juice bottle. Look for one that has a long enough plastic tube that'll reach to the bottom of your lemon juice bottle.
If you decided to simply cut your peaches in half, place them on your food dehydrator trays with the cut-side up to prevent drips on the lower trays!
Turn on your dehydrator and set the temperature between 125°F and 135°F (or per your food dehydrator's instructions).

Drying time: between 6-16 hours and they will feel pliable when dried.
Remember to rotate your food dehydrator trays, for even drying.

Enjoy Peaches In Smoothies!

Enjoy fresh peaches in smoothies! Simply peel one banana, wash and pit the peach, and try the Silk-brand Light Vanilla Soy milk (1 cup). Blend and enjoy!

Any Peaches For Sale? Yes ... In Florida!

A few years ago, my husband and I and my mom went to visit Paula Deen's restaurant up in Savannah, Georgia. As we toured Georgia, we did NOT see one "Georgia Peaches for Sale" sign.

It was only on our way home when we came back into the Florida panhandle did we actually see a "Georgia Peaches for Sale" sign! Do you think the folk in Georgia know they're so good and they were hiding them from us? :-)
