Peaches, Peaches and More Peaches

Peaches,,,,sweet, juicy,,,,and wonderful at their peak. Aside from watermelon nothing means summer to me more than a perfect peach. So when I spied a roadside stand selling Georgia peaches I had to stop and buy some on my way home one night. They were simply wonderful, and Mike thought so also. What happened next was a peach party which involved lots of clean jelly jars,,

Some quart canning jars,,,,

And peaches. We started out with a few bags of them.

We wound up buying 4 boxes of them in addition to the aforementioned bags. Each box contained 1/2 bushel of the little gems.

Mike and I created a two person assembly line for the boiling, cooling, peeling and cooking of the peaches.

Our first batch of peach jam is just about ready to go in the canner.

When we finished with the jam making portion of this project we had roughly 24 jars of sugar-free peach jam.

Then we put up about 2 cases of quarts of peach slices in lite syrup.

And of course I had to make my sweetheart a deep dish, pecan streusel topped peach pie. After all his hard work in the kitchen it was the least I could do to show my gratitude.

At this point in time I have seen enough peaches for several months,,,maybe.
