Canning Peaches

Cynthia and Jeremy had bought pears to can. My grandma had asked me if I wanted to pick some peaches from her peach tree. I went over one day to get some peaches and a few days later we were ready to start canning our fruit.

I have never canned before. I remember my mom canning here and there, but I don't ever remember being a part of it. I had a blast doing it. After our kids went to bed, we set out cutting up the peaches and pears and canning them. The peaches were soooooo tasty and their skins just peeled right off, so they were easy to get ready. Tom and I finished our peaches first, so I went over to help finish the pears. After a long night's work, here was the final product . . .



We have all loved the peaches. They are soooooooo yummy and each can disappears the day it is opened. I can't wait to do this again next year! I definitely have caught the canning bug. There is something highly rewarding and highly satisfying about picking and canning your own food.
