Aren't They Pretty?


For the second year in a row, I have purchased an insane number of peaches and honored my food-preserving ancestors by canning them. Here are the first 31 pints of peaches to come out of the canner. I ran out of sugar for my syrup, so the other half will be done soon!
In past years, I have frozen them with lemons and oranges or made peach jam. Last year I canned some for my dad's birthday present. After I remembered how easy it is to can them, I decided to can most of my three boxes this year.
Of course, we will share some, too!
