A few weeks ago, my daughter, Sarah, and I went to an orchard in Payson, Utah and picked peaches. They were soft, sweet, and delicious! I couldn’t wait to get home and make some fresh peach cobbler!
It turned out even better than I had hoped, and my husband said that he wants this for his birthday instead of a cake. So I froze some peaches, and now I’ll be able to have more fresh peach cobbler in the winter. If you want to know how to freeze peaches, click here.
