Georgia Peaches

On our recent trip to the Gulf Coast, more about that soon... We had to drive to Flora-Bama...you have to.
Along the side of the road was a stand with Georgia Peaches.  YUM... So we bought 2 little baskets and the peaches were huge.  And sweet and perfect.  We shared some with friends, after soaking them in Grey Goose Vodka, refreshing on a hot humid night... I brought the rest home and made a little peach crumble for dessert last night.
The recipe looked good, although I didn't have a lemon on hard which it called for, but of course I would have limes.  I think I would omit EITHER if I made this again.  I don't think it would need it.  And this is what we devoured.

Of course, add Blue Bell ice cream...always!

  1. I love anything with peaches and I love any kind of crumble (my mother-in-law used to make rhubarb crumble every summer as it grew in abundance in her garden)...I've got a basket of nectarines from the farmer's market and I'm going to make this with nectarines...my family will be mighty surprised that I "baked" something when I haven't in so long!!! :)

    Peaches soaked in Grey Goose...the geese probably weren't the only things flying high!!! *snort*
