Bonjour,
It's Peach Time in Colorado!
If you never tried peaches from Colorado Western Slope you missed a wonderful treat!.
The season is now until early September. The peaches are large, super juicy, and melt in your mouth. They are so many possibilities: pies, galettes, jams, cakes, but the best one is: freeze them, so when the cold weather is among us, you make a wonderful peach pie and it is summer all over again.So don't miss this great gift from Mother Nature, and enjoy Summer as long as you can. Bon Appetit!
