We planted a little twig of Elberta and another of Reliance in our back yard in 1996 to satisfy the longing of our little boy. They have given us years of great peaches in northern Illinois, and we had never before heard of Elberta. It was a “gardener’s special” and we are certainly the gardeners who lucked out. They are delicious. The trees are loaded this year, but we are DRY.

“For us, a peach cobbler had a pie crust bottom and lattice top...”

My grandma was from West Virginia and this sounds like her cobbler recipe as well. The latticed top crust and the bottom crust were crisp and buttery and soaked in the peach juice ... to die for delicious!!!

I only like two kinds of pie.

Hot and cold.

I was once moved to automtaic tears from the childhood happy memories evoked when I stopped at a fruit stand and the smell of the peaches overtook my senses.

Do you have a fried pie recipe? We have been trying to find one for a long time like my MIL used to make.

I looked up unripe peach recipes on the web and there are quite a few. Like grating them up and use in a saw, etc

Dewberry is a grandparent of the Ollalieberry and Marionberry.

It’s hard to beat Pittsburg peaches. Had cobbler made from them just today.

You are so lucky to have an elberta peach tree. I can’t even find elbertas in a can!

We are DRY in AZ, too! Not a drop of moisture for months.

Last week they only had Lorings, they said mid July would have lots of Redskins. Not so many “peach sheds” open up there anymore. Maybe they all died from heart trouble caused by Franklin’s Pittsburg Hot Links.....
