Peaches

[msmemory_archive]

OK, so I was at the Nashoba Valley Winery on Saturday with jducoeur, and they had fresh peaches for sale. They'd sell you a small bag and let you select your fruit from their baskets (or for a different price, you could go out to the trees and pick your own).

Anyway, the small bag wasn't nearly as small as it had looked empty, and I now have lots of fresh peaches.

Serving/preserving ideas are invited! (Note that I have never canned anything & don't yet know how.)

canning fresh fruit is easy easy easy. make a simple syrup (instructions are in any cookbook..consists of sugar and water. thats it! you can jazz it up using spices if you like, or not :).)

wash, peel if desired, pack in a screaming hot canning jar (I run mine through the sterlize function of my dishwasher, or just hot wash plus dry cycle), and can according to directions. (a big pot of boiling water). the box o' canning jars should have directions.

alternately, just slice em and stash 'em in a freezer bag, and freeze them until you are ready to do something with them :). that's what I tend to do with less than a bushels worth of fruit.

bonne chance!
