PEACH FRITTERS (Fried)
Recipe from:  Stephenson's Orchards
Marcia Norwood, America's STORYTELLER

This recipe has been one of our family favorites for many years.  These fritters are fried in hot oil and are d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s!  We have one little peach tree in our backyard, and it's a race each year to see who will get the peaches...me or the squirrels.

The original old southern recipe came from our local Stephenson's Orchards, and was served at the Stephenson's Restaurant when it was open.  Stephenson's Orchards is a fourth-generation, family owned and operated fruit farm. The fruit operation consists of 40 acres of apples, 25 acres of peaches, a fruit market and on-farm cider mill.
