I mean that a million times...and so does my family! My favorite dessert recipe calls for fresh peaches, but I can't have it in the winter, canned or whatever the store has, just doesn't taste the same. I followed this post, and we have enjoyed it all winter. I am just taking the last batch out of the freezer to make the dessert for a father's day picnic tomorrow, and thought of you. Here's the recipe...just in case you want to try it... Heat oven to 350. Grease and flour a 9 1/2 x13 1/2 x 2 pan Bottom Layer - 1 POUND cake mix, 3/4 C sour cream, 2 eggs Mix WELL and spread in pan 2nd Layer - 4 peaches - cut up, sprinkle of fruit fresh, 3 Tbsp sugar Peel peaches, add fruit fresh and sugar & mix gently Topping - 1 stick butter (softened), 3/4 C sugar, 1 tsp almond extract Mix together with your hands (or my mom uses a potato masher) and sprinkle over top. Can add a pkg of slivered almonds if desired. Bake 35-45 minutes until golden...WATCH CAREFULLY last 10 minutes Serve with whip cream or ice cream....mmmmmmmmm YUMMY!

My favorite dessert recipe calls for fresh peaches, but I can’t have it in the winter, canned or whatever the store has, just doesn’t taste the same.

Frozen peaches do loose a little body. However, my very picky 9yo says, 'I just can't stop eating them...' That must mean they are way better than store bought. I challange you to take 6 peaches and freeze them. Then make a pie tomorrow, following my recipe. Try it. Then come back and tell me what you think. Okey Dokey? Great to hear from you.

(just found it). I'm wondering if the peaches get really soggy if you freeze them? I've used frozen peach slices for smoothies... are they really as good as canned for pies and dessert?
