Peach Jam

Last night, we completed making the rest of the peach items. Our kitchen was once again filled with the fragrance of cooking peaches. My friend, Diane, came over and we made four batches of peach jam which we finished in less than two hours. Today, I will put all the canned produce from the weekend down in the basement and we will enjoy them this winter when fresh items are no longer locally available. The final tally for us: 11 pints salsa, 6 pints pizza sauce, 18 quarts of peaches and 8 pints of peach jam. That is about 1/4 of what we made on Saturday. There is a lot to the saying, "Many hands make light work." Hope this post finds all of you preserving and enjoying the bounty of the season.
