Canning!

On Friday I canned peaches for the first time!  Actually it was my first time canning anything.  A lady at our church taught me how and then gave us a whole box of peaches she had left over from her peach tree.  So here are the peaches . . .

Here is Robb adding Vitamin C to the water to keep the peaches from browning . . .

Here is the simple syrup cooking and a pot of boiling water to pour over the peaches to make them easier to peel!

This was the tricky part.  When I opened the canning pot it said not to use on glass top stoves, which we have.  Of course, I didn't discover this until after I had already started the whole process.  So we were thinking like crazy trying to figure out what to do.  Then we remembered our grill has a big burner on the side.  YEAH!!!  It worked great!

Here they are bubblin' away . . .

And here's the finished product . . .

And of course we used the left overs to make a peach crisp!  YUMMO!
