I was able to buy a bushel of peaches for a decent price last week and have them all used up now....Since I want a record of what I was able to "put up" this year....I thought I'd just do this here too
1 bushel of peaches yielded....
7 quarts canned peach slices
7 half pints peach preserves
5 half pints peach butter
2 pints, 2 odd jelly jars (between half pint and pint size), and 3 half pints peach jelly.
1 big cobbler
several fresh to eat and gift a few.
The peach slices are beautiful but I'm not sure I wouldn't prefer them frozen in the future. The preserves and butter are perfection itself. The jelly tastes more like slightly peach flavored sugar to me so we'll see what everyone else thinks.
The cobbler was great and the fresh peaches in our oatmeal so so yummy!
Still finished up with the tomatoes although I'm almost ready to just mow them down. I'm so tired of canning and my cabinets are FULL. And I know I have apples and pumpkin to do in a few weeks.
