Also, I didn't add any sweetener to the peaches at all. Turned out just right for us! :-)CyberSishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12785005260630246224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-47641575450012927962015-08-25T07:38:00.053-04:002015-08-25T07:38:00.053-04:00Hi CyberSis,
So glad you enjoyed the Peach Crisp,...Hi CyberSis,<br /><br />So glad you enjoyed the Peach Crisp, too. Cinnamon makes almost anything better, right? <br /><br />When you said you didn't add additional sweetener, I assume you meant you didn't add sweetener to the peaches. Did you still use it in the topping? What a dilemma though..."crisp or cobbler"...LOL. Glad you liked it. :-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741830600608488811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-86269825952942666662015-08-25T01:00:46.012-04:002015-08-25T01:00:46.012-04:00Hi GGC,

I used some local peaches, which were actually quite juicy and tasty. Although they weren't *quite* up to "Imperial Lady" standards, I may have to revise my "that was then, this is now" statement somewhat. Also, I've noticed that cooking improves and concentrates the flavor of just about any kind of ripe fruit ... except for melons and avocados, I suppose! :-) I didn't use any of the additional sweetener and the peaches baked up sweet and slightly tangy all at once, which gave them a very nice flavor that we really enjoyed.<br /><br />The crumbly topping is so easy to make and delicious ... lots of bang for the buck! (I must confess that I put in a *rounded* 1/4 tsp of cinnamon, though!) The chia seeds give the topping a nice subtle texture without making it overly crunchy.<br /><br />Now I'm in a real dilemma ... I can't decide which I like more, the peach crisp or the peach cobbler! :-)CyberSishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12785005260630246224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-48653362069515729862015-07-04T22:50:12.723-04:002015-07-04T22:50:12.723-04:00Hi CyberSis,
Isn't that funny how simple memo...Hi CyberSis,<br /><br />Isn't that funny how simple memories of particularly delicious peaches are so deeply embedded in memories? Hard to imagine a single peach tree could produce so much isn't it? <br /><br />I was quite surprised when some of your favorite peaches were enjoyed in Alaska...until you said they were air-shipped from Georgia! I can't tell you how many times we've picked up peaches and they literally have no smell, only to find they have no taste either. These particular peaches we got at Costco drew us to them an aisle away because of their "perfume"...I said to hubby, there are peaches here and he looked at me puzzled...I said smell, don't you smell peaches? Sure enough as we got around the corner, some of the most beautiful peaches were in front of us. <br /><br />When I tasted the Peach Crisp this afternoon, I simply drizzled some heavy cream on top and it was wonderful (I intentionally didn't over sweeten the crisp so the peach flavor wasn't drowned by a non-natural sweetness...just enough to highlight it). These peaches were super sweet and juicy "as is". This evening we had a little scoop of sugar free coconut milk vanilla ice cream on top but I actually preferred the pure plain cream drizzled on top. <br /><br />Speaking of nectarines, I can't tell you how many times in the past decade that we've bought nectarines and they were tasteless and mealy...which makes finding spectacular fruit a real treasure now. :-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741830600608488811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-16713644669107170372015-07-04T21:06:38.890-04:002015-07-04T21:06:38.890-04:00Hi GGC,

When I was little there was a peach tree in our back yard. I have pictures of myself as a baby sitting amongst bushels and boxes of peaches from that one tree. Even after the tree was long gone, my mom would buy fresh Michigan peaches for canning.<br /><br />Years ago we used to get some great peaches in Alaska, of all places. They were air-shipped in, of course. One year we had the most awesome peaches ever. They were the "Imperial Lady" variety from Georgia and were utterly delectable! (That was the same year for outstanding nectarines, too.) If I live to be 100, I don't think I'll ever forget those peaches .....CyberSishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12785005260630246224noreply@blogger.com
