Moolie, do you think my peaches will be edible? I used the sugar my mom told me to use and boiled it all down. Smelled sooo delicious.moolie said:Yay, sounds like you did great! Ditto on the "pings"--that's the sound of the inside jar pressure sucking the lid down to form the seal.
Whohooooooo! Yipii!!!! I love your idea although I must say it was beautiful to have our farm house smell of fresh boiled peaches instead of other smellsmoolie said:I'm sure your peaches will be fine, especially if you had advice from your Mom.
When I do peaches, I don't even boil up a sugar syrup--I just stuff a quart/litre jar full of peach halves or quarters, dump in half a cup of sugar when I get the jar half full of fruit, continue till the jar is full of fruit to the bottom of the threaded collar, pour boiling water in to leave half an inch of headspace, then the jars go into the canner for the appropriate processing time. They always turn out just fine, I believe my "cheater" canning "syrup" is considered a "light syrup". I do the same with pears.
Thank you all for your advice. I am soooo happy
Yes, and yesBimpnottin said:That "ping" is one of the best sounds during canning season. The only better sound is the big sigh of relief you can give when you are done and can sit down for the day!
Ketchup??? That sounds exciting! I don't remember too much after midnight. I just put the jars on a towel and stumbled into bed for my hsuband to clean up the mess in the morning. And he didabifae said:WOOT!!! Congrats
I made ketchup and a cranberry glaze last night
