I am a week late in posting this, but better late than never. Our peach trees produced for the first time this year, as I had previously posted, but being so small, they were not what I had wanted for canning halves. In past years, I have always put my name on a call list at one of the local orchards for when their Michigan Red Haven peaches come in. They are great peaches and freestone for easy pitting. When they came in, I bought a bushel specifically for canning.
Here is one basket ready to be put in the boiling water. We use our turkey fryer for this.
Part of the end product. 30 quarts that will taste so awesome when snow is flying. :)
