That Macinaw peach episode is a classic. These are merely peaches grown in the Yakima Valley. Most of the fruit production in WA is on the dry side. The valleys are lush, green orchards and vineyards as far as you can see. The surrounding land is desert that sees maybe 5" of rain/year.

this looked so good I saved it and the pix. we're de-winterizing the freezer, basically eating the stuff.... came across frozen peaches I put up last summer. so....

it was really good - highly recommended.

the spice cake/batter is a stellar stand alone recipe / dish - I have many designs on that spice cake.....

being frozen, my peaches did not make it too high up the pretty scale....
fresh would be obviously best, but methinks canned would be better than frozen.

error in judgement.... I got creative and used dark brown sugar. not recommended. covers up the other flavors too much....

used a gray semi-nonstick pan; inverted immediately out of the oven with nary a glitch.
