This item is very necessary to protect your light-colored clothing when canning. Fruit & vegie juices stain in case you have no experience with that. You can probably tell this has been in a drawer for quite some time so I didn't model it for you. (calling all quilter friends, I need a "cute" apron pattern fast!
Food processor got good use
So did the slow cooker. We added ground cloves, brown sugar, cinnamon & allspice to our mix. It cooked for well over 12 hours to reduce to half. Non-stick cookware is my friend.
Here I'm getting ready to heat up water for the hot-water bath, and another pan to heat up the jars, lids & rings. The skillet is just there cause it makes a good spot to rest the jars. It's not needed for the recipe.
We ended up with 6 pints of peach butter & many curious family members that evening (Father's Day) as to "how does it taste?" Well, they'll just have to come back over for dinner to find out. :)
Peaches are the best. I've canned alot of fruits and veggies in my time, but as much as I like peaches I have never canned any peaches. I think I missed the window of opportunity for this year.
