Peaches

Mom and I ordered a bushel of peaches this week. We decided to bottle most of them. We froze a few and made a peach crisp out of the rest.

I believe in all we bottled about a 100 peaches.

First we scaled the peaches so we could remove the skin. I'll admit I love it when the skin came off in one piece. Mom got a good laugh out of me when they came off perfect.

What a mess, but it sure was a lot of fun!!!!

We could seal seven bottles at a time. They didn't tak as long as canning chicken did.

We ended up with about 14 jars each, plus what we froze, ones used for the peach crisp, and the few we kept out to eat. It was a lot of fun.
