I found this info on the Cook's Thesaurus website, about potatoes. Varieties: Potatoes with a high starch content, like russets, bake well and yield light and fluffy mashed potatoes. Those with a low starch content, like red-skinned potatoes, hold their shape after cooking, and are great for making potato salads and scalloped potatoes. Medium starch potatoes are called all-purpose potatoes, and they'll work in most potato dishes. Best for baking: russet potato Best for potato salads, gratins, and scalloped potatoes: Yellow Finn potato, new potato, red-skinned potato, white round potato, and purple potato Best for mashing: russet potato, Yukon gold potato, Caribe potato, and purple potato Best for soups and chowders: Yukon gold potato, Yellow Finn potato, red-skinned potato, white round potato, and purple potato Best for pan-frying: red-skinned potatoes, white round potatoes, new potatoes, and fingerling potatoes Best for French fries: russet potato, purple potato, Bintje potato Best for purees: fingerling potatoes Best for roasting: new potatoes, Bintje potatoes Best for steaming: new potatoes, Yukon gold potatoes Best for potato pancakes: russet potato, Yukon Gold potato Sue

I'm guessing it's from WWII when sugar was rationed. I use the lower amount of honey because the tomatoes were overall more acidic then. VICTORY RELISH 22 large ripe tomatoes (8 to 10 lbs.) 7 large onions 5 pears 10 peaches 2 sweet green peppers 1 cup whole pickling spices 3 cups cider vinegar 2 1/4 to 2 3/4 cups honey Peel and coarsely chop the tomatoes and onions. Set them aside. Peel and core the pears, and peel and pit the peaches. Seed the peppers. Coarsely chop the pears, peaches and peppers in a food processor or meat grinder. Tie the pickling spices loosely in a piece of cheesecloth. Place all the ingredients in a stainless steel or enameled pan, and bring them to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 2 hours, or until the mixture is thick. Remove the pickling spices. Place the hot relish in hot, sterilized jars and seal. Cool, then store in the refrigerator for up to 2 months. To can, pour into hot, sterilized pint canning jars, leaving a 1/2 inch headspace. Process for 15 minutes in a boiling water bath. Store in a cool, dark place up to one year. You can freeze this relish for up to one year. Makes 10 to 13 pints, depending upon the size of the tomatoes. o RE: Cookalong #32 ----- PEACHES!!!! clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by doucanoe (My Page) on Mon, Jul 26, 10 at 19:29 MMM, Alexa, I love that pound cake recipe. I make it as often as I can! This one is good, it came from the cardboard insert on a cake pan I bought a few years back. Peach Melba Crumble 2 c all purpose flour 1 cup sugar 1 tsp salt 10 T butter, chilled and cut into cubes 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 3/4 c buttermilk 1 egg 1 tsp vanilla 5 c sliced peaches (if using frozen, thaw first) 1 c fresh raspberries 1/2 c firmly packed brown sugar Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly spray 9x13 baking pan with oooking spray. Combine flour, sugar, salt & butter in work bowl of food processor. Process until mixture resembles corn meal. Reserve 1 cup of this mixture for topping. Combine remaining flour mixture with baking powder, soda, buttermilk, egg and vanilla to form a smooth batter. Do not overmix. Spread batter into prepared pan, top with fruit. Add brown sugar to reserved flour mixture and mix well. Sprinkle over fruit. Bake 50-55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Coll or serve warm. 12 servings **any sliced fruit (apples, pears, plums etc.) may be substituted for the peach slices. Here is one Ruthanna posted several years ago that I have been meaning to try. I think I'll finally make these for the cookalong! GRILLED STUFFED PEACHES serves 4 4 large peaches 2 Tbs. fresh lemon juice 1/ 3 cup quick-cooking oats 2 Tbs. firmly packed light brown sugar 1 Tbs. finely chopped almonds 1 Tbs. butter, melted 1/ 2 tsp. cinnamon In a large pot of boiling water, cook the whole peaches for 30 seconds. Rinse them under cold water and carefully peel the skins. Halve and pit the peaches and cut a very thin slice from the back of each so it will lie flat. In a bowl, toss the peach halves with the lemon juice. Preheat the grill to medium heat. Combine the remaining ingredients and divide evenly, filling the centers of the peach halves. Place the filled peaches on the grill and cook, covered, for 5 or 6 minutes or until the peaches are tender. Place the peach halves on 4 plates and serve hot or warm.

Use on buttery crackers or to stuff celery. This is one of our traditional Ladies Night Around the Pool beverages: BELLINI FREEZE 4 fresh ripe peaches, peeled 1/2 cup sugar 2 Tbs. almond liqueur 1 (750 ml) bottle Asti Spumante or other sweet sparking white wine, chilled Remove peach pits and quarter peaches. In blender or food processor, puree peaches and sugar until almost smooth. Add almond liqueur; process 2 to 3 seconds to blend. Pour into a 9" X 5" loaf pan. Cover with foil or plastic wrap. Place in freezer, freeze until almost firm, 1 to 3 hours. Cut 3 lengthwise rows and 8 crosswise rows through partially frozen mixture. Replace cover and return to freezer; freeze until firm, 1 to 3 hours. Place in refrigerator to soften slightly 10 to 15 minutes before serving. To serve, place 3 pieces of frozen mixture in each of 8 sherbet glasses or champagne glasses. Pour wine over frozen mixture. Serve with a spoon. Makes 8 servings. This is our favorite peach pie. NUTTY PEACH PIE Standard pie pastry for a one-crust pie 1 lightly beaten egg white 8 cups peeled, pitted and sliced peaches (about 9 medium) 1 cup sugar 3 Tbs. quick-cooking tapioca Grated peel of one medium orange (orange part only 1 Tbs. orange juice Topping: 1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar 1/3 cup flour 3 Tbs. softened butter or margarine 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Fit pastry loosely into a 9 inch pie pan. Prick bottom and sides of crust in several places with a fork. Brush bottom and sides of crust with egg white. Bake crust for 7 minutes and remove to cool on wire rack. You can skip this step but it prevents a soggy crust. In a large bowl, combine peaches, white sugar, tapioca, orange peel and juice. Toss to mix well. Turn filling into prepared pie shell. Combine brown sugar and flour. Cut in butter to make coarse crumbs. Stir in pecans. Sprinkle topping over peach filling. Bake pie for 15 minutes at 425 degrees. Cover loosely with foil; reduce heat to 400 degrees and bake 35 to 40 minutes longer, or until peaches are tender. Notes: Use less tapioca if your peaches are not very juicy. This can also be made without the crust. Just put the filling and topping in a pie pan and bake about at 400 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes, until peaches are tender. Use the foil if nuts are getting too brown. o RE: Cookalong #32 ----- PEACHES!!!! clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by cloudy_christine (My Page) on Tue, Jul 27, 10 at 9:17 One very hot summer in high school I attended a month-long workshop in D.C. and boarded with a Czech family. What I remember best is the awful heat and Mrs. Holub's fantastic fruit kuchens. Over the years I worked out my own recipe. Peach Kuchen The Dough 2 packages yeast, dissolved in 1/4 c warm water 1 tsp salt (3/4 tsp if using salted butter) 1/3 c sugar 1 c milk, scalded and cooled to lukewarm 1 tsp vanilla 1/2 tsp grated lemon rind 3 eggs 5 cups flour 1/2 cup butter Mix dissolved yeast and milk with about a cup of flour. Beat in eggs, sugar, salt, vanilla and lemon rind. Add enough flour to make a medium soft dough. Work in soft butter. Knead until shiny and elastic. (Note: I make this in a heavy-duty processor and put in all 5 cups of flour at the beginning, along with the sugar, salt, lemon rind, eggs, and cut-up butter. The milk, vanilla and dissolved yeast go in through the feed tube while the machine is running.) Let rise in a buttered bowl, covered, until doubled in bulk. Punch down and divide in two. Let rest to relax the gluten before rolling. (Can be chilled at this point if desired.) The Kuchen 4 or 5 ripe peaches, peeled 1 egg mixed with 1 tsp cream cinnamon sugar the dough Slice peaches very thinly. Drain in one layer on paper towels. Roll each piece of dough out gently to fit into an 11" x 16" jelly roll pan. (Or any pans that add up to roughly the same area; big is better, though, because the dough rises at the edges.) Let rise until puffy but not doubled. Brush with beaten egg mixture. Arrange sliced peaches on top, close but not overlapping. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake on the lowest rack of a preheated 350-degree oven, 25 to 30 minutes. o RE: Cookalong #32 ----- PEACHES!!!! clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by lpinkmountain (My Page) on Tue, Jul 27, 10 at 10:03 So for peach dumplings you use a pie crust wrapping? My new BF said his grandmother, (who was Czech) made the best dumplings but he hasn't been able to make them like hers. I am pie crust challenged but would be willing to try for him. o RE: Cookalong #32 ----- PEACHES!!!! clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by annie1992 (My Page) on Tue, Jul 27, 10 at 11:02 ruthanna, I also add chopped peaches and some pecans to pancakes, and I make peach syrup on purpose, just peach preserves that aren't cooked long enough to really jell, just thicken. That goes over the top instead of maple syrup, it's yummy. My mother likes these, with the spices, over vanilla ice cream, but you gotta like brandy! Brandied Peaches (Ball Blue Book of Canning) 4 lbs. whole peeled peaches 3 lbs. sugar 1 tsp. salt 1 quart boiling water 3/4 cup peach brandy Dissolve one half of the sugar and the salt in the boiling water. Add one layer of peaches at a time, and boil gently for 6 minutes. Peaches will darken if not heated through, but should not be cooked until soft. Put heated peaches in a deep bowl, boil syrup 5 minutes and pour over fruit. Cover bowl and let stand overnight. Drain syrup into sauce pot, add remaining sugar, boil 5 minutes and pour back over peaches. Next day, strain peaches out of the syrup and pack peaches into hot jars, leaving 1/2 inch head space. Add 3 or 4 TBLSP of brandy to each jar. Boil syrup until thick like warm honey. Pour hot syrup over peaches, leaving 1/4 inch head space. Remove air bubbles. Adjust caps. Process 10 minuts in boiling water bath. Peaches should be ready to use in about a month. Yield: about 3 pints. Option: If you want your brandied peaches spicy you may prepare a spice bag with whole cloves, a cinnamon stick and orange zest to boil in the syrup. This is one of those jams that you can eat with a spoon. It's a bit softer than commercial jam because it has no pectin and it's low in sugar, but it's delicious. Peach Melba Jam Recipe 4 cups of pitted, chopped up fresh peaches 1 cup of raspberries, fresh or frozen Juice of one lemon 1 - 2 cups sugar (to taste) Chop up whole peaches and put in large cooking pot. Squeeze juice of one lemon and strain out seeds, add lemon juice to peaches and mash peaches and lemon juice well with a potato masher. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cover and simmer for ten minutes, stirring occasionally then stir in raspberries and sugar. Increase heat to medium high. Bring to jell point, (I start checking with a frozen plate at 218F here), remove from heat and skim off of foam. Process in a boiling water bath canner for 10 minutes for half pints. I've never done it in larger jars, but you could use pints if you'd rather, or just keep it in the fridge to eat! You can also double this recipe and it's OK. Don't want to can? OK, this is Amanda's favorite dessert, it was one of Dad's favorites too. Peach cobbler from the Betty Crocker (1969 version) cookbook. 4 Cups Of Fresh Sliced Skinless Pitted Peaches 1/2 Cup Milk 3 Tablespoons Shortening 1 Cup Flour 1 Tablespoon Cornstarch 1/2 Teaspoon Cinnamon 1 1/2 Teaspoons Baking Powder 1/2 Cup Sugar 1 Teaspoon Lemon Juice 1/2 Teaspoon Salt 1 Tablespoon Dark Brown Sugar Serving Size 6 Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In saucepan, mix sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon. stir in the peaches and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring often to prevent the mixture from burning. Once the sugar has completely melted, pour the peach filling into a two quart baking dish. In a mixing bowl, cut shortening into the flour, then mix in the dark brown sugar,baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk and drop spoonfuls of the this batter into your still hot peach filling mixture. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown.

I went on a hunt for the correct jar, the organic peaches, and quality gin. Gin is my second favorite alcohol so I figured how could it turn out bad. This is what it looks like on day 2. Peach Brandy Day 2 From Grace Louisiana Peach Brandy 1 wide-mouth gallon jar with top 10-12 peaches, washed but unpeeled 2 1/2 lbs sugar 1 fifth gin Put peaches in jar. Pour in sugar and gin. Put top on jar. Leave in secure place. Every couple of days, twist jar around to help dissolve sugar. AFter about a week, add more gin to cover peaches. (Peaches will shrink) Taste after a couple of months. You may add more sugar or gin to taste. Remove peaches. (They are good on icecream) Strain liquid through several layers of cheese cloth so it will be beautifully clear. Bottle and enjoy.

Place six 1-1/4 cup ramekins or custard cups on large baking sheet. Mix peaches, sugar, and lime juice in large bowl to blend. Divide filling among ramekins. For topping: Whisk flour, brown sugar, and salt in large bowl to blend. Using fingertips, rub in butter until mixture holds together in clumps. (I did this in my food processor) Stir in toffee and pecans; sprinkle over filling. Bake crisps until filling bubbles and topping is golden brown, about 40 minutes. Cool 10 minutes. Serve warm with ice cream, if desired. Makes 6 servings. **NOTES: I baked the whole thing in a large oval Corning ware dish instead of using ramekins.

Now, being a slow learner, how do you figure out the ratio of sugar, peaches and gin. I gathered you need to cover the peach/sugar mixture with gin, or is there a specific amount? I'm headed to SC Monday to get peaches so I'd like to be thinking about the ways I'm going to use them, besides peach preserves or butter and, of course, the ice cream. I won't be getting a ton of them...it's basically just a fun trip with DD and best friend. TIA, jude o RE: Cookalong #32 ----- PEACHES!!!! clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by caliloo (My Page) on Sat, Jul 31, 10 at 10:15 Jude - that is too much math for me to think about this early on a Saturday. LOL! I would take the 750 ml bottle of gin (or whatever alcohol you choose) and pour in about 1/2 way up each canning jar (I'm assuming the 8 oz size) until you run out of booze. Poke a peach into each one and then evenly divide the 2 1/2 lbs of sugar across the jars. If any look skimpy, add a bit of booze or sugar. I don't think you need to worry about exact proportions of sugar to booze, it is going to be wonderful in 4 - 6 months no matter what! I think the only thing I might do differently is to poke a couple of holes in the peach with a toothpick or wooden skewer to maximize the peach flavor that is extracted. Good luck!

I could not find my ginger, so I added a little cinnamon to the flour mixture. These were very easy. I should have doubled the recipe. Tracey Individual Peach Upside-Down Cake Recipe courtesy Alton Brown, 2006 Serves: 4 servings Ingredients ⢠3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided ⢠1/4 cup light brown sugar ⢠2 medium peaches, peeled ⢠1-ounce finely chopped crystallized ginger, approximately 3 tablespoons ⢠2.5 ounces all-purpose flour, approximately 1/2 cup ⢠1 teaspoon baking powder ⢠1/8 teaspoon baking soda ⢠1/8 teaspoon kosher salt ⢠1/3 cup granulated sugar ⢠1/2 cup buttermilk, room temperature ⢠1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract ⢠Whipped cream or ice cream, for serving, optional Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Divide 2 tablespoons of the butter between 4 (6-ounce) ramekins. Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter and set aside. Evenly divide the brown sugar between the ramekins; sprinkling it into the bottoms of the dishes. Cut each peach into 12 to 14 pieces. Lay the peaches on top of the sugar; evenly dividing them between the dishes and sprinkle with the ginger. Set aside. In a medium mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl whisk together the sugar, buttermilk, vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir just until combine. Pour the batter over the peaches; dividing the mixture evenly between the dishes. Place on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the cake reaches an internal temperature of 190 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove from the oven to a rack and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of each dish and turn upside down onto a serving plate. Repeat with each cake. Serve immediately with whipped cream or ice cream if desired. o RE: Cookalong #32 ----- PEACHES!!!! clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by virginia7074 (My Page) on Mon, Aug 2, 10 at 20:59 I just saved a bunch of recipes from this thread. (Come to think of it, maybe I could have just saved the thread???) Anyway, my favorite recipe for peach cobbler comes from one of the Silver Palate cookbooks. I just made it tonight! Peach Cobbler Source: Silver Palate 4 cups peaches, peeled and sliced 2/3 cup plus 3 tbsp sugar 1 tbsp lemon juice 1 tsp grated lemon zest 1/4 tsp almond extract 1 1/2 cups flour 1 tbsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 1/3 cup vegetable shortening (I use butter) 1 egg, beaten 1/4 cup milk Preheat oven to 400 F. Toss peaches with 2/3 cup sugar, lemon zest & juice and almond extract. Spoon into 2-qt baking dish. Bake 20 minutes. Combine flour, baking powder, 1 tbsp sugar, and salt together in a large bowl. Cut in butter. Combine egg and milk and mix into dry ingredients to form a soft dough. Remove peaches from oven. Drop dough in large spoonfuls over peaches. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tbsp of sugar. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until top is firm and golden brown. Serve warm. (The original recipe suggests serving it with 1 cup of cream whipped with 3-4 tablespoons of peach brandy or peach cordial, but I like ice cream. I also sometimes omit the lemon zest & juice and the almond extract the add cinnamon.) o RE: Cookalong #32 ----- PEACHES!!!! clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by joanm (My Page) on Fri, Aug 6, 10 at 19:21 Check out almost shrunken head stage of the peach brandy.

I see the peaches are doing their job giving up their essence, as the mixture looks like it's going to be delicious. Here's one I tried last summer when I ''discovered'' Dorie Greenspan. I see from my NOTES I made this last year on Independence Day. It's not as easy as 3-ingredient ice cream, but definitely worth a little effort. Honey-Peach Ice Cream *From ''Baking from my Home to Yours'' by Dorie Greenspan 4-6 large ripe peaches (about 2 pounds), peeled and pitted 1/4 cup honey 1 cup whole milk 1 cup heavy cream 3 large egg yolks 1/2 cup sugar 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract Coarsely chop half the peaches into 1/2-inch chunks and toss them into a small saucepan. Add the honey and bring to a boil, then lower the heat, cover the pan and cook, stirring occasionally until the peaches are soft but not mushy, about 10 minutes. Using a hand blender, whir to puree. Set the peach puree aside while you make the custard. Bring the milk and cream to a boil in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan. In a mixing bowl, whisk the yolks and sugar together until very well blended and just slightly thickened. Still whisking, drizzle in about one third of the hot liquid - this will temper, or warm, the eggs so they don't curdle. Whisking all the while, slowly pour in the remaining liquid. Pour the custard back into the pan and cook over medium heat, stirring without stopping, until the custard thickens slightly and coats the back of the spoon; if you run your finger down the bowl of the spoon the custard should not run into the track. (The custard should reach at least 170 degrees F, but no more than 180 degrees F, on an instant read thermometer.) Immediately remove the pan from the heat and pour the custard into a 2-quart glass measuring cup or clean heatproof bowl. Stir in the vanilla and the peach puree. Refrigerate the custard until chilled before churning it into ice cream. Scrape the chilled custard into the bowl of an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions. Pack the ice cream into a container and freeze it for at least 2 hours, until it is firm enough to scoop. NOTE: OMG! This is absolutely the best peach ice cream Iâve ever eaten. I never need to try another recipe for this again. Cooking the peaches with the honey syrup helps develop the peach flavor, and the puree makes it absolutely smooth. Delightful and tastes like summer.

It is scrumptious.... Now that I see your pics I remember that the last time I made it a few years ago, I went ahead and dissolved the sugar in the gin before adding the peaches. Seemed like it took forever for the sugar to dissolve so I just stirred it up good before adding the peaches. Now you see why I questioned the original recipe suggesting using the peaches after a few months. They definitely look like little shrunken heads!!

I found this recipe on a blog, Katie's Kitchen Garden. She refers to it as her Grandmother's peach cream pie but to me it is more a tart. We absolutely love it. It was so simple to make. If you already had a pie crust in the freezer, even quicker. Note: Don't use frozen peaches; they will make the tart/pie too soupy. The tastier the peaches, the tastier the pie. 1 cup sugar 3 tablespoons flour 2 tablespoons butter 1/2 cup cream 3-4 fresh peaches, peeled and halved (I sliced my peaches) Mix first 3 ingredients together. Pour half into unbaked pie shell. Fill with fresh peach halves. Cover with the rest of the mixture. Pour cream over the top. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until set.

Grace, I always peel the peaches. The salsa is so pretty... I think if they were diced you'd wind up with little pieces of curled up peel floating around in it. The chipotle jam is pretty much like pepper jelly... I dump it over cream cheese or use it in pepper jelly cheesecake. A friend of mine uses it for a grill glaze, and puts it on ham, pork roasts and chicken. o RE: Cookalong #32 ----- PEACHES!!!! clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by wizardnm (My Page) on Tue, Aug 10, 10 at 17:35 Keep on adding peach recipes, they are all good and I think these threads are handy to have.

I over-bought potatoes a couple of months ago. I successfully stored them in my wine fridge. I made sure they didn’t touch each other. ETA: if you end up storing some without refrigeration, remember to keep them in a dark place. Light causes the green flesh, solanin, which can be toxic. Also, keep them away from onions. And, if possible, keep them from touching each other. Do not store in a plastic bag. Air circulation is needed.
