[Sca-cooks] Preserving peaches

[Susan Lin]

I'm sad - our favorite peach farm had a bad season, half their crop was lost
due to a late frost :-(

I've canned peaches with a dark sugar - like a moscodavo (sp?) or you could
use cone sugar and maybe orange blossom water.

One of my favorite way to eat fresh peaches (if not raw) is to half them and
put them in a foil pouch with balsamic vinegar and a little brown sugar and
cook them in the fire (or on a grill).
