Summer fruit for the winter..............




My friend, Molly, and I have ventured into canning this year. We've both done a little here and there but his year we tackled it head on. First, we canned a TON of strawberry Jam this spring - so YUMMY. Then we decided try our hand at canning peaches. It was fun to do it together and learn as we go. My favorite so far is definitely the strawberry jam and I think Molly would agree. Next year, I plan to make at least twice as much as I did last year. The peaches were time consuming and didn't turn out as well as we would have liked but still good. I think we were hoping they maybe wouldn't be quite as mushy as store bought canned peaches but they are. They do taste better for sure and they have been great for yogurt and peach pancakes!! But the fall brings applesauce, apple butter......I need a new pantry just to hold all the goodies!!!
