My great uncle used to have an orchard across the road from his home, not far from where I grew up.  He would spend hours fishing for bad apples and bugs that were causing problems with his trees.  It’s amazing the maintenance and care he put into his land.  It was always worth it though!  Every year he would bushel his apples, pears, and peaches and distribute them to his extended family.  My family also had peach, pear, and apple trees lining our driveway, but I think I climbed on them too much and so they didn’t produce as much as normal trees did. I’m pretty sure I’ve never tasted fruit as sweet and wholesome as the fruit from his orchard.  Enjoy these recipes that will include some of those juicy fruits.  Just add some fresh fruit chunks, blend, and enjoy!
