Fruit grows from the middle of each blossom, so above you can see a green, fuzzy, baby peach growing from the middle of the flower that is ready to fall off.
I couldn't resist taking a photo of this baby meyer lemon that I've been watching for a few weeks. They grow so slowly...when you watch them. :)
CRUST
1 box refrigerated pie crusts
FILLING
2 bags fresh frozen peach, thawed
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
pinch cinnamon
DIRECTIONS
1. Heat oven to 400°F. Use glass pie pan.
2. In large bowl, gently mix all ingredients. Spoon into crust-lined pan. Cut and top pie with lattice crust. See Youtube for lattice
3. Bake 20 mins then brush egg wash over crust and sprinkle with more sugar. Bake another 15-25 mins or until golden brown and bubbly. I used a pie crust guard during the last half of baking.
Wow, I didn't know that peaches could grow in Florida. Here in the City we have nematodes too bad to grow much of anything. Perhaps I can plant some on the Tree Farm. I can't wait for you to let us know how your peaches taste!
ReplyDeleteI have a peach tree but they seem to bloom too late and never get big enough to eat. I don't why though? Do you thing the tree is too young? It's about 5 feet tall and 5 years old. Any tips? Thanks
