As those of you who read my blog know, we have been doing lots of canning here. This week I am sharing how we canned our peaches.
remove skins from peaches (I read that some do it by placing peaches in boiling then cold water, but we found it easier just to skin them with a cucumber peeler)
remove pits, slice peaches into chunks
pack into jars (and pack them TIGHTLY. they really do shrink quite a bit. we are going to cut ours a bit smaller next time to fit more because, as you can see from the photos, they really did shrink)
Add boiling water or syrup with 1/2 inch headspace. We made a light syrup, which consists of 1 cup of sugar in 1 quart of water. Stir constantly so sugar melts and add to jars once it is at a boil.
Put in pressure canner for 10 minutes at 5 pounds of pressure. Enjoy! :-)

Happy Birthday! My birthday was also on Monday! :-)
Looks Delicious! Thanks for having this linkup!
Canning - the one thing I really want to learn how to do that truly scares me!!!!!
Thanks for hosting! I am now following.
We love our home-canned peaches! A couple of years ago I started canning mine in bite sized pieces. It fills the jars better, takes less jars and jar lids and it makes them easier to eat- especially for my 2 littles.
I admire you for using a pressure canner...those things scare the wits out of me! I just use a regular canner.
Great job Lisa! I love peaches! Here we buy them in tins. Thanks for hosting. I am happy to link up. Have a good day.
I love canning! Didn't get to do much this past summer because of the horrible heat--nothing really grew. =( Thanks for stopping by and letting me know about this linky! Hope you have a great day!

Thanks for hosting, Lisa. I'm always wanting to try canning but too afraid to! :)
You are set for the winter. Thank you for sharing on my Our Favorite Things Link Party. I really admire the things you do for your family. Many God Bless.
I linked my peach harvest recipes, including our canned fruit cocktail. This is the second year I have canned fruit cocktail, and it really is easier than it sounds. I don't even use a canner; I just process the jars in a very large pot.
I seriously need to get the stuff for canning, I love canned peaches. You are awesome for doing it, I get so lazy!
I haven't done any canning for a long long time but have memories of helping my mom can and eating wonderful canned peaches in the winter. Thanks for sharing on Foodie Friends Friday and I hope that you will join us again this coming week.
