[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m piggybacking on this thread to ask another peach identification question.

Growing up, my grandparents had a peach tree and I’d love to know what kind of peach it was.  I remember them saying that the peaches tasted so awful, fresh, that they were practically inedible, but when cooked  they made the BEST preserves, cobblers, etc.  I think they may have been a white peach, but I’m not sure.  I know that the preserves were more a light golden brown than the typical yellow/orange of commercial peach preserves - but I don’t know if that indicates the type of peach or simply the fact that Grandma didn’t use artificial colors.

Any ideas?[/quote]

White peaches are delicious straight, but they don't taste like much when you cook them. A baking friend said it's because they're lower in acid.

If there was a brown tint to the preserves, it sounds as though your grandma didn't use lemon juice or Fruit Fresh. My mom used to make her own peach preserves, and they were pretty orange.

I don't think most commercial jams use food coloring, but they might choose a particularly colorful peach[/quote]
