Peach Picking - The Lemon BowlEven though we won’t be picking peaches again until next summer, we keep frozen fruit in our freezer all winter long. Frozen fruits and vegetables are picked at the height of their freshness which means maximum nutrition for you and your family all year.

Bee Friendlier - The Lemon BowlOf course, year round access to high quality frozen fruit is something we all take for granted. The truth is, right now honey bees are at a risk of extinction which has a major impact on fruits and nuts including peaches, blueberries, apples, almonds and more. In fact, bees are responsible for one in every three bites of food we eat.

  1. What kind of beer would you recommend for this? I’m thinking a smokey porter would be good with the bbq flavor, but would you recommend something lighter?

  3. I’m far more creative with hamburgers than barbecue, but this gives me great ideas. I’ll try it the way you have it first, of course! The peaches and beer must give it such flavor.

  4. This looks amazing. The slow cooker bbq pulled chicken sure gives out a wonderful flavor. And I really love the addition of peaches in order to balance flavors.

  13. This sounds absolutely yummy, including Ali’s BBQ sauce. I found a recipe that I like for BBQ sauce but I’m going to have to try this one, too. This chicken would make a wonderful lunch (not big on sandwiches for dinner, usually).
