Domestic Diva!

I canned peaches last night. Thanks to Erin for loaning me her canner and for helping me can tomatoes over the long weekend. The peach canning took forever because the peach skins didn't want to come off nicely. I ended up with 5 jars of peaches and a huge mess in the kitchen. I over-filled the canner and ended up with fruity, sugary water all over the stove. At least we have canned peaches now. I bet T will love them.

    Oh! I'm so proud of you. I have over-filled jars before and it's such a mess. Did you blanch the peaches? It's so much easier to get the skin off by doing that. I do it with tomatoes too.

    Ya know, I did blanch them and some of them came off great and others had to be pealed with a knife. Blanching the tomatoes totally worked. I'm not sure why some of my peaches struggled.

    Too bad about the mess, but totally worth it! You should have called me, I would have helped you peel them. :)
