Gather ye Peaches while ye may

Peach Cobbler.
I understand the consumer wants to see and buy the "perfectly round, defect-free peach". But in the final analysis, does that really matter? Why care how the peach looks as long as it taste good? Every good canner knows some of the prettiest peaches are hard and bitter, especially if they are not in season. That same canner also knows some of the ugliest peaches are juicy and sweet when in season.
Peaches, like strawberries, will be gone before you know it so... gather ye peaches while ye may.
