What is National Peach Pie Day?
PIE DAY NATIONAL PEACH PIE DAY AUGUST 24 – AUGUST 24 PIE DAY | AUGUST 24.
On August 24th, the annual Peach Pie Day is held on August 24th. During the Peach harvest season, we celebrate this delectable dessert. Don't forget the à la mode!
There are two main peaches – freestone and clingstone – in general speaking. The difference is in the way the flesh comes out from the pit in the middle of the peach. The peach is a freestone peach when the meat falls free from the stone; if the flesh clings to it, it is a clingstone.
Although Georgia may be the first state to come to mind when we think of peaches, California actually leads the nation in production. Peaches are grown in the United States by 20 states. South Carolina and New Jersey are the other top producers outside of California and Georgia. Peaches in Pennsylvania and Washington also grow a lot of peaches.
Peaches are best enjoyed ripe, juicy, and fresh. However, if that is not possible, pastry comes to the rescue. When we add a little sugar and seasonings, peaches' sweet juices come to life. The fruit is still sweet, with them engulfed in a flakey crust and bake for about an hour. For a creamy reminder that summer isn't quite over, try vanilla ice cream for a creamy reminder that summer isn't quite over. Well, not yet, anyway.
