The Fruits of our Labor

So we got this great idea to can peaches by ourselves. Despite the fact that neither of us had much experience when in came to this sort of thing. Alicia got some great advice from an expert canning friend and yesterday we took the plunge. We bought a box of peaches from the farmers market and let them ripen, then did the peeling, pitting and slicing.

The finished product. I think they are so pretty, I don't want to eat them!

It only made 8 jars and 2 jars of jam, but at least I can say I've canned!
