When was the last time you had a sweet juicy peach?

I went to the store yesterday morning to get a last minute ingredient for something I was making for my son's birthday party, and they had peaches on sale for .99 a lb. They were really big and pretty peaches so I could'nt resist, and I bought a bag full of them. I just finished one and it was delicious. When was the last time you had a sweet juicy peach? I will count canned peaches too?

What good timing for this discussion. I just had a fresh, juicy peach just a couple of days ago. We had a fruit truck come up from the Okanagan full of just picked fruit. A friend of mine splurged majorly and we've been snacking on fresh fruit all week - peached, nectarined, apricots and cherries. All fresh picked and oh so very yummy.

IMO a canned peach doesn't hold candle to a sweet perfectly ripened peach. My husband and I actually just bought some peaches last night. They were great. Perfectly sweet, juicy (to the point of running down your arm) WinnDixie has them .99 a lb right now... Do you live near a WinnDixie? lol This is the first year in a while that I have seen some nice peaches, which sucks, living in GA you think I'd be abl to find them all the time!! Durn, now I want another peach lol.

LOL, I thought you guys in Georgia had an over abundance of peaches. There are some beautiful looking peaches this year.

Yesterday afternoon actually. My mom had gone to see her parents, which live about two and a half hours away from her. She came back with peaches, tomatoes, and squash from a stand near where her parents live. They always have the freshest produce. Yesterday my mom gave me one of the peaches, and it was divine! Canned peaches just can't hold a candle to fresh peaches.

Its been a while, I was at the market when we lived in Cali and they had a lot of fruit I hadn't eaten in forever. I did get some plums and when I bit into it the juice ran down my arms, good stuff baby!

I had one this weekend! I belong to a local food organic co-op, and I get organic produce delivered to my door once a week, and there were peaches in the last batch. Yummy! I don't eat canned fruit, so I couldn't tell you the last time I had a canned peach. Too much sugar, too many preservatives! I prefer the real thing!

I ate peaches 3-4 months ago because peaches are seasonal in our country. Yes it is juicy and crispy, too.

Its been a while since I had a peach but I had a nice ripe nectarine a couple of hours ago. I paid £1 (GBP) for a punnet of 5. Haven't had canned peaches in years... nothing like fresh peaches.

i actually don't like peaches. something about their taste doesn't agree with my tongue, so the only time i tried a peach was also the time that i decided i didn't like them. the rest of my family absolutely loves them, though.

Hi, I live in a small town in Pennsylvania and here we have a farmers market every Thursday. The local farmers bring their produce to town to sell it and this past Thursday there were peaches. Yes, I bought them and they are very good!!

Well, just now because you made me crave one. It wasn't so juicy; but it was still a peach! ;)
