Got fresh Peaches today, I didn't wash my hands to take pictures of peeling and stuff.
I made freezer jelly, canned preserves, and a bit of fruit juice.
Preserves ( added a smidgin of cinnamon and vanilla to these) You can't really taste it but you know they are better than normal.
Freezer Jelly (trick to these babies is to stir your little butt off, take a break, rinse and repeat twice more!)
I shared the fruit juice (better now than later, they can rack it themselves)
I think I made 2 gallons, but I could only find 2 quarts. I hope Its put up under the counter and I just didn't look for it.
AND enough fresh peaches left for some with oatmeal for breakfast, with pancakes the next day, and some for short cake too.
That was my evening, its like making sausage..... when you start you go till its all done and cleaned up.
Ok, I know, I know, It doesn't look like much but that's a lotta pans of happy biscuits!
Thinking maybe pears tomorrow, I am NOT looking forward to peeling them either!
BTW I HIGHLY recommend a Pampered Chef fruit peeler to anyone that deals with fruit. A lady that used to be on this site suggested it to me and its the greatest thing since store bought ready sliced bread! I swear you could peel a soft tomato with that thing!
