The Peach Jam That Wasn't

Remember how I bought eight quarts of peaches a couple weeks ago?


Yeah, these peaches.

I made jam out of one quart's worth.  Or at least, I tried.  It didn't work so well.  It ended up being more like super sweet peach chunks in syrup.

Canning Peaches

I was very pleased to find the first of the local peaches when I went to my local farm market on Thursday.  Of course, the smallest amount I could find was an 8-quart box.

Oh well!


I set some aside for eating (because my husband loves peaches) and some aside for a pie, and the rest I decided to can!
