It's peach season in North Carolina.  Here are a couple of vintage Cooperative Extension pamphlets with some intriguing peach recipes:

  • Uncooked Peach Pie
  • Peach Waldorf Salad
  • Peach Surprise Salad

Peaches Varieties and Recipes (HE-209) from 1979 has these creative recipes: 

  • Peach Omelet
  • Peachy Ham Swisser
  • Peach Freeze
  • Peachy Pork Steaks a la Crock Pot
  • Peach Leathers

Explore more resources about peaches in our digitized collections, as well as more Extension publications from our current sponsored digitization project (under which the above pamphlets were digitized), funded through Project Ceres, a collaboration between the United States Agricultural Information Network (USAIN), the Agriculture Network Information Collaborative (AgNIC), and the Center for Research Libraries (CRL).   To view Special Collections materials in person, please contact us through our online request form.

As the first pamphlet commands:  "perk up your appetite and your menu--eat peaches!"
