Just finished making 7 jars of peach jam

Nothing like fresh peaches from your own tree!

1. I'm waiting for Lelapin's trip to NC to see her grandparents

Grandma always sends back peaches. This year it's peach marmalade. I've never canned before, so this should be interesting. ;)

:hi:

2. we have a peach tree

a lot of times it gets zapped with a late spring storm but this year we will have some good pickings.

3. Grandma asked, "Did you remember to put a peach pit in the bottom of each jar for a fresher flavor?"

Nothing like fresh peach jam . . . unless, of course, it's fresh peach pie.**

Yummy!

juice to the peaches in that pie to bring out their flavor
while preventing them from turning brown?"

4. My dear av8rdave!

Oh, lucky you!

We had two trees in Livermore, and every year they bore like crazy! There's nothing like a tree-ripened peach!

How I miss having those...

Enjoy, you lucky dog, you!

:hi:

6. I was afraid I over-pruned this winter, but

the best yield ever!

I was able to give away several bags to my town's food bank.

A good year for peaches!

5. I just harvested mine last week

I delivered a 5 gal bucket of peaches to some friends who made jam with it and gave me half. She is really getting good at making it. This year is the best she has ever done and the stuff is awesome. The last couple of days I've been enjoying it on toast made from crusty homemade bread.

7. I did that a couple of years ago

It was the most divine nectar-of-the-gods substance I have ever put in my mouth.

Don't have those peach trees anymore, unfortunately.
