I live in California now but am originally from Chittenango and my family is still in CNY, so it’s nice to see a food blogger from back home.

Sara,
Lucky you! Try Martha’s nectarine hand pies. They freeze well and you could even take them with you to Disneyland. http://www.marthastewart.com/343582/fruit-filled-hand-pies?czone=f¢er=276955&gallery=274429&slide=343582
Her nectarine shortcakes are also wonderful.
Keep Well,
