What are you canning now?

I would just wash and freeze them. They will peel as though you'd blanched them. OR you could blanch them and then freeze them, but you'd be adding an extra step.

Thanks rh . I do not have quite enough, to justify taking the time to process and can yet. I hate doing small batches of a quart or 2.

Does anyone know how much wine would raise the acidity like 2tbs of lemon juice? (sounds much better)

citric acid.
While very common in citrus fruits, such as limes, citric acid is found only in very minute quantities in wine grapes. It often has a concentration about 1/20 that of tartaric acid

I should have written my question as

How much wine to work like vinegar to acidify spaghetti sauce like 2 tbs of lemon juice.

Mine is sporadically productive and half dead, eaten by pests ... kind of fits.
Well, I know what I should be canning ... apple sauce, apple butter, and apple pie filling ... however, it's all on hold until we get our new driveway done. Not enough hours in the day! Now if I can just keep the rabbits out of the boxes of apples. Sigh.

sleep 4 out of 24 if you need one extra day a week

10 pints of peach preserves from a 1/4 bushel of Hill Country peaches I got in Fredericksburg. And tomorrow going to try pear jam (My sister's tree went crazy this year). I might throw a few black plums into the pears for a pretty color.

Dang it, I miss those peaches! I had 4 peach trees in my yard when I lived out there. Have just one more jar of halves and a couple jars of peach butter from my place there. I really need to put in peach trees here.

I was given 55 pounds of tomatoes..... they are really juicy/watery this year! So far I have 8 pints of tomato sauce and waiting on the rest to ripen a bit more......

Does anyone who has made wine jelly have any advice? (Using store bought wine not home made)
