Peaches peaches and more peaches

I really hope Mom is proud of me. I spent 6 hours at a friend's home on Saturday turning 2 large boxes of peaches into 29 quart sized jars of peaches. This is my first adult canning experience. It reminded me of all the years spent canning peaches and pears with mom growing up. Can't wait to try my new treat!!!!!

Those look yummy and bring back memories of all the jarred goodies in my Grandma's pantry! Next time call me... I'm in!

Wow - No doubt your mom's proud of you and so are all your friends.

What did you do with the kids during this time or a better question what did your mom do with all you when she did this?

YUM! You are so very "domesticated", my friend. Another YUM? I bought Mothers Iced Lemon Cookies today just because you recommended them. :) They ARE delicious! Thanks!

I'm jealous. I want to can peaches, and then eat them!

OK, that was me that made the comment right above this about being jealous. My sister in law was using my computer earlier, and I didn't realized she was still logged in on google. Now I have to figure out who else's blog I've commented on under her name. Sorry Stefani. :)
