Peach-ey Crumbles

Peach Crumbles... It all began with

my sister and niece going peach picking.

They came by with six grocery bags full!

I began sorting the too ripe ones, from the not ripe ones,

from the mushy-fell-on-the ground-must-eat-now-ones.

I was much too busy to even think about taking

pictures at that point in time, so sorry.

I did manage to blanch, peel, slice and bag up 

many to send them home with.  I think they even

gave away a few of the bags to friends afterwards.

And, of course, I was left with some of the peaches (yay!)...

Many of which ended up being blanched, peeled, sliced, and

placed in ziploc bags for my freezer and for another day and time.

I held out 2 lbs. of my sliced peaches for Peach Crumbles.

The recipe came from my copy of Barefoot Contessa At Home.

From it, I made Ina Garten's recipe for Peach and Blueberry Crumbles

but left out the blueberries.  The peaches were

combined with sugar, flour, lemon juice, and lemon zest,

then spooned into individual ramekins.

The crumble for the top was made with flour, sugar, brown

sugar, cinnamon, and cold-diced butter.  It was a much lighter

crumble than those crumbles that include oats. 

They were then baked to over-flowing deliciousness!

A little messy, but I think that gives them their

scratch-made charm!

I always take an opportunity to serve a pretty dessert.

Using pretty plates makes it all seem so special.

I found these beautiful dessert plates at either Ross Dress For Less or

Marshall's in bundles of six.  They look like fine, dainty, china but are in fact

dishwasher and microwave safe.  It doesn't get better than that - pretty AND tastey!

Now, hmmmm what will I do with the other peaches?

This week, I will be joining:


Thank you for visiting and enjoy!
