Canned Peaches
#26
I used to can peaches also (have to drive 90 miles one way to get them in bulk). And I made Peach Rum Jam that was to die for. Also Watermelon Pickles. Haven't made them for quite a while as there is only myself in the house now.

I was reading an article that said that an added bonus (I guess all bonuses are "added", aren't they? Sometimes I'm so dumb I surprise even myself! LOL!) to the drought was that what crops didn't burn up actually were super good... like the peaches were super sweet & the peppers were extra hot. Has anyone found that to be true?

We just did several jars of Taco Salsa, pureed some more peaches (froze that in the capacity needed for jam for later on in the winter to make!), we are going to can a bunch more items before too long. I love a well stocked "Canned" pantry.
Wow Gennie: sounds like you have been very busy and I hear ya about the quilting time !
Canning to me is just good for a cozy winter night and the smell when you open the jar of the fresh fruit or vegetables, the taste .. YUMMY !!!!!!

I tried these once and they just weren't good. I don't know if I did something wrong. I do remember it taking a long time to get the watermellon rind cut up.
