Yummy Peach Delight! Yay for Peach Season!

It is peach season here is central PA and we love it! One of the recipes that we enjoy is this amazing peach delight from my Mom. This recipe should be kept a secret, it's so yummy! :-). But then again everyone should have a chance to devour at least one serving of this delight a year! So here is the recipe for you.

Peach Delight

Crust
1 1/4 cup of flour
1/3 cup of brown sugar (I use sucanat)
1/2 cup of pecans finely chopped or ground
1/2 cup butter

White layer
1 package of cream cheese
1 1/2 cups of whipped topping
1 heaping cup of powdered sugar

Peaches diced

Gelatin layer
2 cups of water
1 cup of sugar(I use raw cane sugar)
3 Tblsp of peach jello
Pinch of salt
3 Tblsp of cornstarch or clear jell

Mix together crust ingredients and press into an 9x13 pan. Bake at 350 for 15 min. Cool

Mix together white layer ingredients and spread on cooled crust

Bring water, sugar, salt, and jello to a boil. Then mix clear jell with a little bit of water in a cup. Pour into boiling jello. You may have to adjust the amount of clear jell a little. You want a gel consistency. Cool.

Slice or dice peaches and put on top of white layer. Cover with chilled gelatin. 

Chill dessert for 2 hours or more before serving. 

Slice and enjoy! Savor the Flavor of Summer! 

Canning Peaches

Here is a picture of some of our hard work from yesterday. We processed 2.5 bushels of peaches! They are so yummy! The boys couldn't stop eating them! We canned 27 qts of peaches and made 5 batches of fruit slush for the freezer. This is the recipe that I used for canning my peaches.

Peaches to can

This first part is optional. :-) I do it because it makes it go faster!

Bring a kettle of water to a boil. Put whole peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds or so (until you can slide the skin with your hands). Remove immediately and put into cold water to cool.

Peel peaches and slice, dice, or cut in halves and fill jars. Sprinkle a little bit of Fruit Fresh (ascorbic acid) on top and add 1 heaping tablespoon of Raw Cane Sugar. Fill jars with water. Process in a water bath for 1 minute. (That means put the jars in water up to their necks and bring to a rolling boil. Time for 1 minute. :-) )

How do you can your peaches?

Have a blessed day!
