PEACHES IN CRISP AUTUMN

Peaches have a long growing season (late May through October), so, in most areas, we may be preparing for the crisp autumn days but we still have plenty of  time to visit an orchard and pick peaches. Depending upon the kind of peaches you select, you’ll want to eat some of them fresh, and leave other varieties for your pies and jam-making. In all, there are three different categories of peaches:
Freestone. This type of peach is very aptly named: the stone is easy to free from the peach. Freestones are usually what you see in grocery stores, and are great for fresh eating, canning, jam, baking and freezing. They’re generally bigger, sweeter and firmer than clingstones, as well as less drippy. A good all-around peach.
Semi-freestone: This type of peach’s pit tends to stick, usually on one side, so it falls somewhere between the freestone and clingstone category. A general all-purpose peach that good for eating and canning.
Clingstone. The pretty yellow peach flesh “clings” to the stone, and therefore the name. These are the earliest peaches to come in. Distinguished by their juiciness and sweet peach flavor, they lend themselves very well to jams, preserves and canning. This is the canned peach you usually see on the supermarket shelf.

I have collected several really good peach recipes, everything from jam and jellies, to pies and ice cream.  I have shared the links to some of them at Grannynky's Recipes Tips & More along with information on how to select peaches, nutritional information and how to can and freeze peaches.

For the album cover I used the Crisp Autumn Collection by CathyK Designs from the GingerScraps September Buffet .

You can mix and match, 'till your hearts content!

Yep- you heard me, you can get every delectable piece of this Mix and Match Mega Buffet for under $4.00 each!

I can not imagine the excitement you must be experiencing with the upcoming changing-of-the-seasons, Michelle. Fall colors are just so beautiful! I always wonder how one can not believe in God when they see such spectacular autumn displays, and to know he created that for our enjoyment :)
Enjoy!

RAWR

Kimberly Stewart has been busy once again and today she has released the cutest dinosaurs with the RAWR Kit . They are just waiting to adorn your scrapbook pages! I used the cuties with the TV Theme Song Lyrics from the PBS show Dragon Tales for my journaling on this page with one of my Grandsons swirling and dancing in his own little world as he plays in the warm spring sunshine. I also used it to make a little Christmas gift album for my Great Nephew Here is the link once again for this cute kit, Kimberly Stewart's RAWR kit and remember all All New Releases are 25% off - Sunday and Monday Only And in reply to the Anonymous Comment from previous post, yes, I am aware that the music on my site uses the bandwidth of site visitors...some approve, some do not. Some like the blinkies, some do not. Although I would love to please everyone, alas, I can not; so I just please myself and do my best not to offend anyone in the process. I hope each of you come to visit me o...

In Memoriam Collection

Anyone who has lost a loved one knows how much they cherish them and want to preserve their memory. Putting together a Memory Album is one way of remembering them, now and for future generations. Rina and Kimberly have come together in bringing you the "In Memoriam" collection that exemplifies gentleness in strength. Inside this large collection you will find a myriad of embellishments and papers that are suitable for both softly feminine and more rugged masculine pages. It is delicate and sensitive, yet strong and thoughtful. The colors are peaceful, yet with an intensity that gives them strength. You will be able to choose from a number of color combinations: from crisp silvery white and lavender, to the soft glow of gold leaf and sky blue, from warm caramel and taupe to shades found in nature, and finally to accent colors of scarlet red, navy blue and dark purple. Often times our emotions are still very raw from our loss and we may find it difficult to draw on our own c...

Red Velvet Cake

If you have never had Red Velvet Cake, then you are missing a real treat!  I must admit that I have not even had it very often, let alone make it but I while working on Marie's wedding album, I made me a couple of recipe pages to include in my recipe book to prompt me to bake this delicious yummy more often.  First let me show me show you the new pages I made this morning.       Rina's Beloved Collection at Scrapbook-Elements  I think the pages turned out really nice so I thought why not share them with you! Since I have many recipes I am wanting to include in my recipe book, I may start sharing more with them, if you would like...just let me know.   *DOWNLOAD NO LONGER AVAILABLE*
