PEACHES FOR THE FREEZER
For most of the spring, every peach I bought (and I kept buying - hope springs eternal) turned out to be a CLINGSTONE PEACH, a variety I’ve been familiar with (and highly unimpressed by) mainly as commercially canned peaches - halves or slices.
Then, out by Home Depot a couple of weeks ago, I stopped at the stand by the exit of the shopping center, where a family from THE DALLES has been selling fruit this spring. I’ve bought cherries (two kinds and wonderful) and apricots (not so wonderful, though better and cheaper than the markets) from them, and this time they had peaches that looked familiar - I asked if they were cling or freestone. They were RED HAVEN PEACHES, a freestone variety I’m not all that familiar with, as the Central Valley was pretty well solid with FAYE ELBERTA peaches, which must really be suited for that area. Anyhow, I bought a couple of pounds of his Red Havens for $1.50/pound, and they were wonderful
