Dissatisfied with the quality of canned fruit, I've wanted to can my own peaches for some time. But I've let things like the price of fresh produce, not having a big enough kitchen, etc. deter me for years. Finally, this year, I didn't have those excuses. Joe let me buy about 40 pounds of peaches at a roadside stand (for a great price) on the way home from Packwood. The whole way home (and all the next day), Natalie made fun of the peaches because they have "bums". Joe and I worked together all day Labor Day to can all of them. I got 28 quart jars, a peach pie, and a peach cobbler for my efforts. And...my jars all sealed!! It's been 10 years, at least, since I canned peaches with my mom at home, so there was a lot of guesswork (and a few calls to my mom) involved.

I'm impressed. You should give me some :)
You can just go ahead and give me some of those too. Oh wait you don't live by me...
NICE job! I haven't canned for a couple of years myself. I can't can on my stove though because it's a glass top...so that's my excuse. :)
I use my outdoor camp chef because I have a glass top stove, too.
Do you ship pie?
