The Peach Harvest Collection — From Orchard to Pantry

The Peach Harvest Collection — From Orchard to Pantry

There is something timeless about peach season—the baskets coming in from the orchard, the kitchen filling with the scent of ripe fruit, and the work of putting a little of summer away for the months ahead.

The Peach Harvest Collection was created to bring that knowledge back to the home kitchen.

This downloadable collection follows the peach harvest from orchard to pantry, with practical information for choosing, preparing, preserving, and cooking with fresh peaches.

Inside, we explore:

• Harvesting and choosing ripe peaches

• Clingstone vs. freestone peaches and how to use them

• Preparing peaches for preserving

• Water-bath canning peaches

• Farmhouse peach preserves

• Slow-cooked peach butter

• Peach pie filling

• Drying peaches for the pantry

• Farmhouse peach cobbler, including a gluten-free variation

• Traditional kitchen knowledge and practical tips along the way

The collection is written for home cooks wherever they live. Both U.S. customary and metric measurements are included where applicable, making the recipes and instructions easier to use in kitchens around the world.

These are approachable methods meant to help you understand not only what to do with a harvest, but why generations of home cooks preserved food this way.

Created by Denise, The Ex Baker, drawing on years of professional baking, food-service leadership, cottage-food production, and commercial bakery experience.

Whether your peaches come from your own trees, a farmers market, a roadside stand, or the local grocery store, you are welcome at the table.
