    I don't think it's that hard to do, but then again, I've done it so

    Probably so. (G)

    No doubt in my mind.

    Have to keep this in mind for next year's peach season.

    Or used canned peaches. They don'r mess them up too badly when putting them in cans. I drain and rinse them first.

    No, and I've used them from time to time, also canned them at various times. Still prefer fresh, if those aren't available, then home canned. Commercial canned is the last resort.

    The only canning of peaches I have done - or even helped with - is what
    my grandmother called "pickled peaches" They have an entirely
    different flavor profile from straight-up canned peaches.

    Our daughter Rachel gave us some about 10 years ago, said her family didn't care for them. We liked them so the next summer when we got a bushel of peaches, I did up some of them as pickled peaches. Also
    canned some "straight", made peach butter (cousin of apple butter),
    peach cobbler and ate some out of hand.

    Mimi did apple peach and pear butters as well as making persimmon pie - a
    dish that totally amazed me since the persimmons I had tried from the tree
    were so bitter and puckery.

    Remove from water and set aside to cool. These can be
    stored in the pantry when still sealed. However, once
    you have opened a jar, store in the ice box.

    RECIPE FROM: Helen E. Moore (my grandmother) on a hand
    written recipe card given to my mother.

    Somewhat different from how I did it but looks like the results are the same. I used peach halves and did it as a one day project; IIRC,
    pressure canning the jars instead of boiling water bath.

    She had her Mary Dunbar canner - so that's what she used.

    Nectarines are 1st cousibns to the peach.

    Hi Dave,

    or (American) cheese on white bread with mustard sandwiches for our
    school lunches. Rarer switch outs were tuna fish or egg salad, the
    latter always right after Easter. (G) I bought turkey bologna (and

    Variety helpsd. And often lunch from home saved trying to choke down
    the school's mystery meat meat loaf.

    The cafeteria at the high school the girls went to in AZ had the usual cafeteria line but also had several fast food kiosks on a rotating
    basis. It was a big school so having other options available made lunch
    time less of a hassle to get everyone served in a limited time frame.

    I've done apple butter but never had the opportunity to get pears in
    sufficient quantity to can or make into butter. I also have made a lot
    of jams/preserves over the years.

    She had her Mary Dunbar canner - so that's what she used.

    I've got both but before I got the canner, used a large pot or pressure
    cooker as a boiling water bath. Size of the jar determined what I used;
    when I had the 20 quart pressure cooker, I could do quart jars in that.
    When we rehomed that, I use a 8 quart cooker and a 12 quart pot, bought
    the boiling water bath canner a few years ago.

    Nectarines are 1st cousibns to the peach.

    They're like a peach without the fuzz. (G)
