While my parents and sister are here this weekend, we decided to do 2 1/2 bushels of peaches. I have not done peaches with my parents and sisters since I was living at home. Every year, we would get 2 b
ushels of peaches and put them up all in one evening after my parents got home from work. Everyone pitched in and did the jobs until everything was finished. We would can them for eating later as well as make peach jam.
It was amazing to me how we all worked together and Chuck fit right into the assembly line. My Dad blanched while Darlene and Chuck peeled and pitted, Mom packed jars and I did the running. I made the peach pie filling, syrup for the canned peaches and ma
nned the canners full of jars. In between I cleaned up and ran things to the compost bin as the buckets of peach skins piled up. Even though it was a big job, we were able to get it done in about 5 hours time. I had forgotten how m
uch fun this could also be.
I know that the hard work will also be worth it when we taste those good peaches this winter.
