Peaches, Peaches, Peaches

My parents have a peach tree that isn't very old but every year it produces more and more peaches. Last week my mom called and said the peaches were ready to pick so Bronson, Talbie, and I went over there and started picking.

I was shocked at how many peaches we got off that tree... (This isn't even all of them!)


So I've been busy making peach jam...

...and canned peaches! I'm pooped!!

Kellie don't forget to get the rest of the peaches. We don't want them to go to waste. I usually freeze some for peach pie. Love Mom

You have been busy! They look so pretty. If you ever get sick of looking at them, I know a good place to send them. We'll take real good care of them here. I could even wash the jars for you when we're done :)

That's a lot of peaches!!! ..and a lot of hard work!! I remember canning peaches with my mom when I was young--that's a lot of work to peel them all!! You are awesome!!! :) We're hoping to plant a bunch of fruit trees this next year...THEN maybe I'll think about canning....maybe :)

You HAVE been busy!!! You deserve a rest. I always think how wonderful if would be to have a back rub after all that canning. Way to go. Your shelves will look so pretty with all that fruit on it.

That looks great! I have been addicted to canning this year. I am looking for peaches and apples. Do you have a good apple pie filling recipe?
