Peach Day at the Farmer's Market, with recipes and tips

Friday is Peach Day at the Piedmont Triad Farmers Market (off of Sandy Ridge Road from I-40), and I will be out there gathering peaches for some recipes this weekend and sampling the free peaches -- a flier I saw says they will have several varieties for people to try, including Winblo, Carolina Belle, Contender and Ellerbe.

Details
When: Friday, July 14
Time: 10 a.m. - 1 p.m.
More information: 605-9157

Fast facts from Hormel

-- To keep peaches from turning brown, dip them in one cup of water mixed with one tablespoon of lemon juice.
-- You can ripen peaches more quickly by sticking them in a brown paper bag with an apple and storing them at room temperature.
