Canning Season!!

This week I have been canning peaches. I bought 2 boxes from a fruit stand that I like to go to on University Avenue called Allred Orchards. I thought it would get me 2-3 batches, and I was close- I've done 3 batches, and still have one more to go. I'll have to post a picture of my jars when I'm finished. Unfortunately, all the rest of my jars are down at the house in Orem so I need to make a trip down before I can finish my last batch. I decided I needed to do my canning early this year, due to being pregnant- plus, I tried to take advantage of Aspen being with her age group while I did it. It's always a good feeling to do canning, and I enjoy it. It reminds me of helping Mom & Grandma do it when I was younger.

I don't even want to think about canning this year! AACK! Luckily, we have a lot still from last year so I won't need to go too crazy. I am inspired by you and need to get going on some canning now!

I'm impressed! I haven't canned peaches in many years, but that is our favorite fruit to can. I'm going to try to do some this year.
