Time for Peaches

I have been preserving peaches this past week. We purchased about 75 pounds of peaches for $40. They are 2nds; which are still good for eating. They just have some blemishes. So far, I have made peach syrup, peach jam, peach preserves, peach cobbler, and peach pie.

Making Jam

I made some peach cobbler.

Making preserves in the crock pot.

These jars are going into the freezer.

Here are some preserves.

I just had to make some fresh peach pie.

Brian just bought another 37 pounds of peaches today. I plan to make some more preserves. Do you have any suggestions for me to make with the peaches?

Our neighbor gave us about 60 ears of corn. Carissa shucked them and put them in the freezer. We have had neighbors give us Swiss chard, tomatoes, zucchini, okra, corn, and celery from their gardens this summer. This is what neighbors do in the country. Did I tell you that we even get ground beef from grass feed cows for $2 a pound. Now, you cannot beat that price anywhere. You just got to love country living. Just think, we will never starve.
