A good chunk of Sunday I spent laboring away in my kitchen over 2 boxes of peaches (33 Lbs) I had picked previously at Jossy's Farm. Jossy's is out in Hillsboro and they have peaches, pears and apples (I snagged a small bag of apples as well for some applesauce I'll be canning tonight). Jossy's Peach orchard is very nicely kept and it was a gorgeous day so I enjoyed meandering through rows of peaches smelling all there sweet goodness while soaking up some sun.

Now this was my first attempt at canning peaches and I think it was somewhat successful. Though labor intensive, they look beautiful and come Fall, when I start breaking them out, I'm sure I will be very thankful I did them. It was quite easy. The only time consuming thing was cutting and pealing the peaches. Besides that its a cinch and I highly recommend it. I also made a quick batch of peach jam which is super easy.
