It was a lot of work but it was a lot of fun too! Thanks for coming over and doing it with me! It looks like you were quite motivated and already finished your jelly too. I better get cracking before all my peaches go bad. I'm sure it's really good!

You are amamzing! I've always wanted to can peaches. What do I need to get to do that? Please tell me a steam canner because I just got one for Mother's Day. And does sprouts still have cheap peaches?

Ryan and LeDawn said...

WOW! You are brave! I would NEVER even bother to attempt it! It looks yummy! :)

Kristi said...

Thanks for putting all us non-superhumans to shame like usual! Canning is the type of thing I say I'll do when I'm at home full time, but you prove that's no excuse! Haha, they do look yummy!
