Home At Last! with Patty Gironda

Unfiltered and maybe an hour away from ready this last batch of peach syrup was screaming for some vodka and lemonade! I always test my syrups but this was a "taking one for the team" moment in our 90 degree heat! The addition of the slightly-sweetened whipped cream made the "task" a enjoyable experience and I am excited to say that my peach syrup made from Indian Blood Peaches is a great success. A drop of raspberry essence was added to this experimental batch and greatly enhanced the natural raspberry-like flavors of the peach!

I'm like a nervous new mommy waiting for the first blooms of my wonderful heirloom peach tree. Here's the first blooms! After carefully fertilizing and pruning, I'm anxious to see if the size of these delicious raspberry-scented peaches will increase. Keep your fingers crossed!
