Canning peaches



Can I just say that I'm glad that canning season is over?! A couple of weeks ago I was swamped with peaches (not that I'm complaining). So one morning after getting the boys off to school I began the process of bottling 30 or so quarts. Sydni decided to join me. She climbed up on the counter an soon found that she could slide the peels off by herself. Then as she watched me, she figured out that there was a pit in the middle, so she sqwished until she found it and pulled it out. Then she handed me the rest of the mutilated peach to cut and put into the jar. I soon found that if I would cut around the peach it made things alot less messy. So I cut around the middle and then she would peel, and pit and give the halves back to me. Yeah!! She lasted at this for about 30 min and then needed a bath!!
