July is getting close to peach time in Colorado and many peach growing areas across the country. The Palisade peaches in Colorado rival those from other areas for taste and color. Most folks think of Georgia and New Jersey as the peach states. The Colorado peaches are so good that they don’t get out of the West.
Peach pie made with Colorado peaches is simply great. This recipe will produce an excellent pie even if Georgia or Jersey peaches are used.
