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!
