Ed, as a rule, we use small cling peaches for
pickles, spiced or brandied peaches for the obvious reason that they are not
much good for anything else. The choice in this area is the Indian Blood
Cling. The advantage of it is some of the peaches produced are large enough to
can or serve as soon as they get ripe. The flesh and skin are dark crimson and
when used to make ice cream produces a beautiful product. It has a stronger
flavor than any white peach grown around here. Cumberland Valley Nursery
in Tenn. used to have trees to sell. There is an Indian Free which
has the same characteristics except it is a free-stone peach, but I've heard
that it is susceptible to brown rot, whereas the cling version is not as much
so.
