Gold Dust Peaches

I stopped at the Mud Creek Ranch farm stand at the Hollywood Farmers Market on Sunday to admire their selection of peaches. They had three varieties of tiny, 2-bite peaches — including donut peaches and heirloom gold dust peaches.

Thinking they were all a lovely size to serve whole for dessert, I asked the farmer what the taste difference was between them. She said the donut peaches and the other unlabeled kind were very sweet, but the gold dust peaches had the best peach flavor.

I'd eaten great donut peaches before (you can see my post here), but never tried gold dust peaches. I love new things, so I brought some home to try.

Wow, were they good. Sweet and peachy and juicy — we couldn't stop at just one each.

Eating unusual yet awesome heirloom varieties makes the effort of getting to a farmers market completely worthwhile.
