Nothing beats the luscious texture and savory sweetness of a pickled peach after a hot day working the fields. But the round shape and texture make it hard to eat. One either has to use a knife and fork or stab it with the fork and eat it like a popsicle. This still leaves one holding a bowl. You just
cant eat one while riding or even driving. But if you could buy them prepackaged mounted on a stick and wrapped nicely, you could take a couple out of the freezer in the morning and pack it in your food bucket. It would help keep your food cool while slowly defrosting and should be ready for a nice cooling afternoon snack. You could keep one hands on the reins and eat at your leisure.

It's still going to drip as it melts. Disgusting as it sounds how about making a pickled peach slurpee instead? |
|

Couldn't jelly belly make it into one of thier flavor combinations? No mess at all, just select one peach + two clove + one vinegar + one cinnamon. If its the "coolness" you lack you could chew em all a bit and stick them in the freezer for 2 min. |
