Putting a little syrup in the jars, before adding the peaches, helps make sure the liquid is distributed evenly, in the jars. Your peaches look delicious!
What if I want to use smaller jars for the BBQ sauce as we don't use a lot at 1 time? Don't want to waist any after opening a jar. Is it the same processing time?
Thanks for that info about a “free stone” variety. I didn’t know that. I preserved some peaches a little while ago and it was so difficult and they looked so bad. I have just check the other varieties I’ve ordered and they are “free stone”. Fingers crossed they will be a bit easier.
