Preserving Peaches


Continuing in the 'nesting' mood that apparently pregnancy can evoke, Scott & I have been adding some goodies to our pantry for the coming months. Besides the earlier baking and freezing of peach pies and peanut butter cookies, we have just finished a nice supply of canned peaches for the winter months. We learned not to chintz out on good canning seals. Home Discovery do not seal well; pay the extra couple of bucks to get the good name quality ones if you want to ensure they last through the winter.
Our next canning project is applesauce according to Scott. 'For the baby' he says, we'll see if it lasts that long in the cupboards before the baby can eat it. In the meantime, maybe some dried plums as we'll have to wait a few more weeks for the apples to arrive.
