It is the time of year for peaches — fresh, local beauties bursting with flavorful, juicy goodness sit in bushels at local fruit stands.
Irvin Maddox, general manager of Maddox Ranch House in Perry — in the heart of peach country — likes to use his own family recipe during the season. His restaurant serves more than 500 slices of fresh peach pie (at $4.99 per slice) each day at this time of year.
No one is really sure how or when the peach pie tradition started.
