OK, not millions, but all the same-jars and jars of beautiful golden peaches!
 |
| Peaches scored and ready to be peeled! |
My friend Lisa was ready to pop with her third baby, and she called me up in a nesting panic to help her can 2 boxes of fresh peaches! So I packed up my canning supplies and headed to her place!
 |
| Peeled and shiny! |
So, I had canned peaches with my Mom before, so I knew the general plan, but I forgot, and failed to read in my canning book, that peaches take half an hour PER BATCH! So we started at about 5:30, and didn't finish them until 1:30 AM!!! A big thanks to Lisa's hubby who went on a search for a second canning pot for us to help speed things along.

| It is 9:30 at night and the first batch has #l only just gone in...hence my pouty face! |
But SEVEN HOURS (gag) of work were well worth it! I am sure you will agree.

| Lisa-ready to pop! |
And even though the peaches were MY greatest achievement of the week-Lisa's was a beautiful baby boy born 5 days later! CONGRATS MAMA!
