It looks like summer has arrived: and with that peaches from our tree. Yesterday we picked the first ones! I have been literally stalking the peach tree for the past two months: waiting eagerly for the fruit to ripen. -Is it wrong to be this excited about fruit? - I know it is just fruit, but I can't help it. I love the flavor of fresh fruit just picked from the tree. There is nothing like it... warm from the sun yet it tastes fresh.
The trees from the garden have been very generous this year. We are still picking lemons. Thus, I couldn't help myself and baked a lemon cake. I adapted it from this recipe from Bon Appetit Magazine. The only changes that I made was to bake it in a 9"X9" square pan and added the glaze. I used this recipe for the glaze (the one from my double lemon cookies). It makes an excellent snack or tea cake. Totally recommend it.
Well, now I'm off to eat some more peaches and maybe sew for a little bit. I've missed my sewing machine. I feel like we have been apart for a long time.
Have a wonderful week!
Martha.
Oh my, yum!!! I may be showing up at your front door for a peach, a piece of cake and a sew in!!! Sounds like you have it all going on over there!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's not wrong to be excited about fruit:-) It's lovely being able to enjoy your pics of your garden, and what you make with your produce.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful peach. Not strange at all to get excited over fresh fruit!!
ReplyDeleteFresh peaches straight from the tree, sounds like heaven to me Martha!
ReplyDeleteYour own peach tree - wow! That has got to be heavenly!
ReplyDeleteOh such goodness! Peaches and lemons......two of my favorite things!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds fabulous! I am excited as my hubs and I are going to plant fruit trees this fall. Sadly, it will be a few years before we get yummy delicious fruit in quantity. But honestly, there is nothing better in the summer than a fresh peach (except maybe really fresh, sweet corn, it's a toss up).
ReplyDeleteYay! I can't wait for some of your delicious jam :)). My fave!
