A few weeks ago, my mom, a friend and I got together to can peaches. My dad had brought some boxes home from a trip to Colorado, and they were delicious! I remember watching my parents can food growing up, and I think on occasion I helped a little too, but I hadn't done it in so long, and it was great to have a chance to learn how to do it again. After taking home a dozen jars of peaches, and eating several of them within the first couple of days (my kids LOVE home-canned peaches) I decided that we needed more.

Round 2:
My friend found a great deal on another box of Colorado peaches sold thru a local church, and I bought a box, and headed out to my mom's house, this time with the kids in tow.
Then headed to the basement to get started. The kids were very excited to be able to help dump sugar in the jars, (I love my mom's face!)
and then help stir in the hot water to dissolve the sugar.
After about an hour of work, we had filled another dozen jars, which my mom processed for me and brought over the next day. Our pantry is now full of yummy home-canned peaches, and I am hoping they last more than a month! Thanks mom for all of your help!

How fun! Way to get the kids helping as well.
I feel like everything is sticky whenever you can anything. I hate being sticky, but I love the feeling of accomplishment and love to see them all lined up in a row. It's so pretty.
Very nice look. Awesome
