1st Lady canning: peaches
Lady did her first serious canning last night: half peck of peaches.
If Polly picked a partial peck of purloined peaches past their prime, how many pecks could pretty Polly pluck?
She did her first 1st canning last month when we picked three quarts of raspberries and she made freezer jam, which is canning without the trouble of a canner.
Gotta give her credit – she say she do, she usually do.
Last week she ordered a used canner/pressure cooker. Saturday we drove 30-some miles to Amherst Ohio for the last of the season’s picked-over peaches. Canner arrived yesterday. After work we bought canning jars and she went between peaches, pressure cooker and computer screen and canned six quarts. Added a bit of lime juice and cardamom seeds.
Kept her up two hours past her bedtime.
I helped peel and was left with depressurizing and removal when she crashed.

Time well spent. When you open a jar during the depth of the Cleveland winter, you’ll feel the sunshine all over again. The old Paradise Prairie farm boy is a lucky man.
See what you mean about peach porn. Those peaches look downright succulent!
