Who doesn’t love pie? National Peach Pie Day is a delectable treat for the tastebuds. If you can find a good peach for consumption you’re doing well. Oftentimes it gets difficult to find a good soft and juicy peach. Many of the peaches you get at the grocery store are hard. This is due to being picked prematurely. Here’s a helpful hint: Hope isn’t all lost if you find hard and tasteless peaches at the grocer. In our home, we simply place the peaches in a large paper bag, close it over, and place it on top of the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Works like a charm.
