I really have enjoyed canning peaches. Of course, I help my mom get everything in the jars and then I head home. She's the poor lady that has to spend then next four hours putting the jars in the sealing bath and then taking them out and then putting more in the water.
These aren't done with the typical half-peach look. We found that it is easier and faster to just cut up the peaches, sweeten them a little bit and then put them in the jars with their own juices. I believe most of these peaches will be eaten on top of pancakes during the rest of the year.
Above is the "before" picture and below is the "after" picture. For some reasons peaches look darker before being boiled...maybe because of the oxygen in the jars. Oh well, they still look very yummy.
Today we did tomatoes...and then I took my aunt to the airport while my mom started on pears. We've also dried peaches and hopefully will dry pears. My favorite dried fruit is the pear. And my favorite canned fruit is also the pear. I just absolutely love pears. (I think I prefer my peaches right off the tree...yum).

There is nothing like the taste of home-canned peaches. Most other things can be replicated by the stores, but not peaches... And bottled peaches will always remind me of my dad - he would sit with a bottle, and bread, and peanut butter and go to town.
yummy. Makes me want a peach pie! I've really been enjoying your blog!
