Hard day's work

The other day Cam brought home a HUGE thing of peaches from Richfield. It sounds like Dan and Millie's tree went a little wild this year. So I didn't know what to do with them so I decided to make jam. I had a few of my friends over (Jen and Jodi) Between running kids to and from school and taking care of screaming babies, it took us ALL day to get them done. But when we were done we had five dozen + things of jam. We did plain peach, peach-pinapple, and peach-strawberry. I hope they will ture out ok. This is the first time that I made the attempt with out Mom or Grandma's help. Jen had NEVER done anything like that. Jodi wasn't there the whole time so I was really worried it wouldn't turn out. It looks good, I hope it is as good as it looks. I didn't get many pictures but here is some of the finished product.


Thanks for the peaches Dan and Millie! Someday I will be domesticated. Right?

I hope they turn out. I hate this time of year. I get tired of bottling before we even start. This year we did about 75 jars of green beans, 16 jars salsa and tomorrow we will be doing peaches. Hope everything is going well. Jamie

Great show of domestication! Thanks for taking the peaches off our hands, I was never home to do them, and I think Dan'd had enough!

This year is my first attempt by myself, too! My fruit is in the freezer waiting. . . but I'm going to do it! Wish me luck :)

Looks yummy! Hey you are getting domesticated, Peach Jam! I have not tried peach but I have done strawberry, and raspberry. I think we are domesticated though! Cleaning, laundry and cooking is enough definition for me to be qualified as domestic!
