Canning Peaches

It’s Georgia peach season!
Once a year, when the Georgia Peaches are ready, a grower comes to my tiny, rural town to sell them. We like to buy a whole case. My husband will usually eat a couple and I can the rest.

 

I get the family involved because, hello, that’s a lot of Peaches to peel! This time there were 4 out of 6 kids here to help! Many hands make light work!

 

 

Out of that case of Peaches, I got 6 quarts of halves and 9 quarts of slices. All of these will be so great to eat this winter! Whether we eat them straight out of the jar or turn them into something like peach cobbler. Yum!

 

(You can see real life happening in the background of this picture! Water bottles, even a laundry basket my son left out!)

 

I follow the directions in the Ball Blue Book Guide to Preserving. That is what I recommend. You can find all kinds of canning recipes on the internet. Not all of them are safe. I highly recommend you start with the directions and recipes in this canning guide.

 

 

Here’s a great water bath canning set to get started with.

 

 

Canning Peaches is fairly easy. If you get the chance to, you should try it!
