OF COURSE I CAN!

Quick Canning Tutorial

Canner
Canning Tongs
Pot for Blanching Peaches
Pot for Syrup

Canning Tongs


Lids

Syrup

I use a honey & water mixture instead of sugar. I dump in about 1-2 cups of honey to 1-2 gallons of water. The taste is up to you! You can also use a sugar syrup mixture. You can find those directions here: Ball Canning


Next Step: RINSE THE RIPE PEACHES


Next Step: BLANCH PEACHES IN BOILING WATER FOR 30-60 seconds


Next Step: ICE BATH THE PEACHES


Next Step: PEEL THE PEACHES


Next Steps:
Slice or Half the Peaches
Arrange in Quart Jars
Secure Lid & Rim

PLACE THE JARS IN THE CANNER WITH TONGS


BOIL FOR 23-35 MINUTES

REMOVE WITH TONGS

LET SIT FOR 24 HOURS

STORE FOR THE WINTER

ENJOY!!
