Guess what I’ll be doing today?
Something I haven’t done in a long time!
I’ll be filling these little jars with sweet peach preserves…
and hopefully a larger jar or two with sweet sliced peaches for use in peach cobblers in the future.
This is the result of an innocent, 1-minute conversation with my friend Stephanie while at a funeral yesterday. It went quickly from Stephanie asking, “Have you ever done in canning?” to “I’ll bring you everything you need” to this showing up at my doorstep an hour later.
So, much to my surprise, I’m canning peaches today!
But first this…
In fact, I may have to make another pot! It’s been a while since I’ve put anything edible in a sterile jar and sealed it with the hopes that it would still be edible months from now.
Wish me well!
Oh Kay..those peaches look yum-oh!!!! I've never canned peaches…you'll have to keep us posted on how it all turns out, and possibly sharing the recipe too???
Happy Peach canning…oh..but first, hope you enjoyed your cup of coffee.

How fun, I know you'll enjoy the preserves! I hope to make some spiced peaches to bring out at the holidays this year!
I'm sure your canning experience went very well! I make preserves, but I've never canned peaches.
We used to get peaches in SC every year, when returning home from our beach vacation. However, we went on our vacation early this year (May), so no peaches for us. 🙁
Peaches are a favorite of mine. In fact, when I was pregnant with our youngest, I craved them…couldn't get enough of them. lol Also, my mother makes the best peach pie EVER. I enjoy eating it while it's still warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top…yummm!
Seeing your pics has made me hungry for peaches. Hoping our Farmer's Market will have some this Saturday!
I DO wish you well! Looking forward to seeing the finished project….and wishing I could come over…I'd gladly bring some fresh french bread!
I'm so proud of you. You're my Proverbs 31 Hero!!!
I am SOOooo impressed!! Wow! And, we both use the same brand of sugar when we cook!! Heehee!! Hope that your family appreciates all of this hard work! Enjoy the results!
Hugs!

You must share on a future blog out this went! I'm really looking forward to doing things like this when my kids are not attached to my legs!
Perhaps when school starts and there's only 1 at home!
I can almost smell the peaches coming through my computer!
I hope you had fun!
ps- I recently wrote a blog about coffee cups! I did notice yours – how was the coffee?!
Wow! I'm so impressed. I've never canned anything. Does freezer jam count? 🙂
