I Canned Peaches!

OK, OK, I realize that if you know me (which you probably do since you're reading this) then you probably DON'T believe the title you just read. . .so I'm just going to prove it with some pics--and NO, I did not photoshop myself into the pictures!!! :)OK, so Irene helped me, but it was her first time also. Aren't we awesome? The lids all sealed perfectlyand we're excited to try them in the middle of the winter! :) A special thanks to Chrissy (who knows me as well as anyone) for telling me to document this with pictures as she knew NO ONE would ever believe me if I couldn't prove it--including her! lol I don't know if it was really worth it, but we did have a good time and I guess only time will tell if I ever try something like this again, but for now I'm pretty proud of myself! Oh, I also have to mention that the only reason I ever CONSIDERED doing this was because of an enrichment I went to where my neighbor taught us about canning and she convinced me that atleast canning peaches would change my life. . .fine, not quite "my life", but you know what I mean. ;) We'll see. . .when I'm eating them in January!

  1. This reminded me of when I was going to BYU and your family lived in Orem and your mother and I canned peaches. They were so good! Home canned peaches are a thousand times better than the ones you buy in the store.

  2. Oh my heck, I don't believe it! Thanks for taking pictures of everything, it's fun to see how you did it. I want you to save a jar for next time I visit so I can try some. You guys are pretty awesome!

  3. I'm so impressed. They look delicious. We don't have peaches over here. Maybe I'll steal a jar from you when I come home at Christmas and bring them back. :)

  5. We canned peaches too. A friend gave us two big boxes from her tree and so we canned them that day, we got 34 quarts!! We'll be eating peaches for a long time.
