Food: Canning Peaches

Hubba ordered 2 Lug Boxes of Palisade Peaches from our neighbor.


We picked them up on Friday.


I canned on Saturday and Monday evenings.


I made two jam and two butter recipes.


There were six total batches and 50 half-pint jars.


Hubba awarded me a Gold Medal for Jam.  :-)

Awesome! We get our 1 box on Friday. There is talk of my lower sugar raspberry peach jam and a peach liqueur or some variety (brandy perhaps?) and we haven't had a peach cobbler yet this year, though that only uses 3-4 depending upon their size. I suspect between that a few more to eat fresh with yogurt we'll be through our box pretty quickly.

I think next year, we could handle 3 boxes since I didn't make any frozen or canned sliced peaches, or cobblers, or anything like that.... We did eat a few though. They are sooo tasty this year. :-)

I'm looking forward to tasting your creations. :-)

Excellent work! We're giving out homemade peach jam as wedding favors in a couple of weeks and I'm desperately hoping we have a jar left!

That is so fantastic. Sometimes I wouldn't mind a gold medal for my efforts. :)

Ooooo! Yummy! My mom used to bottle and jam the peaches from our tree's in the backyard when I was a kid! Hard, but very yummy work - Definitely a gold medal performance! - K xx
