I just bought 54 pounds of peaches. I'm going to can some tomorrow. Tonight 36 pounds of them are in the freezer. I've heard that if you freeze them first, then blanch them VERY quickly, the peels just slip right off. I'm hopeful but we'll see.

I am considering using an apple corer to get the pits out, since 18 pounds of them are "cling" peaches. Seems like it would be easier than trying to remove the pit any other way. The corer I have also make 8 even slices, so I could slice them at the same time.

Anyways - I'll report back after I try it.

I've got a crock of kraut curing right now too! How long did you let it cure for? The ball recipe said 3-6 weeks and I'll be at 3 weeks this weekend. It smells pretty krauty

I've got another batch of cabbage thats not too far from harvesting and I'm trying to decide more kraut or slaw

My friend brought me over Cherries (24 lbs.) , Blueberries (12 cups), Pears (5 plastic bags of pears, around 40 lbs.), Nectarines ( 7 lbs.) & Green Peppers (6 lbs)... Woohooooooo

I've got another crock of pears in the works for more pear sauce (need to make some more pear honey), got the blueberries in the freezer til later, then I plan to make jam with some. Later tonight I'm gonna make nectarine jam, gonna freeze the cherries too & then tomorrow make stuffed peppers to freeze. Good Stuff

ps do you have a recipe for nectarine jam?

Seasoned tomato sauce. About 20 # of Roma out of garden, onion, bay leaf, fresh oregano. I didn't realize how good house smelled til I went out and came back in. Smells like Italian night out!
