Reach for a peach slogan originated in 1982 to promote peach season. We celebrate National Peach Month in July, when they are at peak season. There are many different ways to fix peaches. During this month, and into the next, peaches will be filling up your local tailgate markets and produce stands. If you buy them when they're fresh, you can freeze or even can them to be enjoyed later on in the year. The following recipe would be easily fixed and frozen for later. This Peach Sundae is from the Food Hero website. Enjoy!
