Summer’s Sweetest Sipper

There’s still time for this one!  Do you have the summer-is-coming-to-an-end-blues?  You can fix that fast, with a consummate summer cocktail.  This summery standard, a pretty little Peach Bellini cocktail goes from morning to day to evening as easy as (peach) pie!  It’s also perfectly swell for 🌞Sun-day drinking!  It’s fruity and light, but it packs a real πŸ₯Š punch when a little vodka joins the party. 

We never got a real peach bounty this year.  Maybe a combo of weather, tree trimming and the fact that last year our peach yield was off the charts.  This year we trimmed our tree 🌳 back pretty hard  and that along with our very odd weather seems to have taken a toll on my darling peach tree.  I finally got a few, just this week, so late August is my new July.  They be late, but they be sweet!

Everything’s Peachy!πŸ‘πŸ‘

If you find yourself with an abundance of fresh peaches that you can’t get to before they become overripe, I suggest freezing the puree.  The easiest way is to put a pot of water to boil.   Make a cross score in the bottom of each peach.  Drop a few at a time into the boiling water for about 20-30 seconds.  Remove and then plunge into cold water to stop them from cooking. 

Once they are cool enough to handle, the fuzzy skin will come right off with hardly anything but a little swipe of your finger.  Then just remove the pits and process with a little lemon juice until you get a smooth puree.  Put into a freezer proof bag, remove the air and lay flat to freeze.  You could also put the puree into ice-cube molds to freeze, then remove and put into a freezer bag.  Then, you can just take what you need during the rest of the peach-less seasons ahead!
