Even though we were going to wait until the weekend, we decided that we would try to find some peaches locally, rather than driving up to Brigham City, about 1 1/2 hours north. The "fruitway" up in Brigham is great, but they are also having tons of people there for "Peach Days." So, we found a local orchard, South Ridge Farms, in Santaquin, about 15 minutes south. We bought two small boxes, for a total of about one bushel.
We discovered the peaches are not yet ripe, but still put up 2 quarts for dutch oven peach cobbler figuring the peaches would cook in the oven for a while anyway. We also put up 8 half-quarts for eating, hoping that the peaches will soften up over time.
We are going to can the remaining peaches either Wednesday or Saturday, depending on our energy.
Meantime, we decided to go to Costco today (discovered it was closed for the holiday), and at lunch at Mi Ranchitos in Orem. Pretty good, but their salsa is not near as good as ours!
