It's the end of the summer, and here in Massachusetts the peaches are ripe for the pickin'. But I have noticed this week in the news that the FDA is recommending throwing out your peaches, because they have been named as a likely source of a Salmonella outbreak.

A deeper dive shows that the peaches in question are peaches supplied to some major chains  A recall was issued for bulk or loose peaches distributed and sold from June 1 through August 3, and bagged peaches through August 19. 

Well, nothing to worry about in our kitchen.  The peaches we've been buying (and which were used in the peach cobbler recipe posted two days ago) are local peaches grown and sold at a local farmstand, Springdell Farm. Massachusetts peaches are smaller than the ones you buy in the supermarket (from Georgia?), but they are fresher, and are plenty sweet and juicy.
