My Favorite Way to Preserve Peaches | Homestead Vlog | August 7, 2023 

So neat to watch your videos how you can make stuff for your family for the rest of the year that’s wonderful and those peaches look absolutely delicious 😋

I always mash the fruit before I measure that way you get more accurate amounts of sugar and pectin. I've found if I mash after I measure fruit the jelly/jam is too thick and at times rubbery When making jam/jelly you should use a flat spoon for stirring it prevents scorching. Stirring with the ladle only stirs the top

The USDA canning book says to put up to 1 tablespoon of butter in your jams and jelly to prevent foam forming.

So fun to watch you. I heard MAGGIE yell HI, please tell her I said HI back. I'll have to check Etsy for your store.😊

I really like your stove❤ perfect for canning!

Yummy 😋 ok now I want peaches 🍑 too! Thank you for sharing this recipe with us. It’s an hour drive to the orchard I grew up going too! 😂 Road trip!! Looking forward to learning how you can/preserve potatoes 🥔!!🎉🎉❤

I just started watch y’all video and I love it You mention jam bars please make those they sound wonderful.

Looks good. Ill send a recipe you'll love. 👍💯❤️🙏

That looked mighty fine

It all looks delicious

Thanks for another great recipe!

Do you water bath them or keep them turned upside down? I saw you turn stuff in the other video, why do you do that? I'm just curious, that's all.

Those peaches look beautiful & so does your preserves…my mama & granny always made peach preserves & pear preserves, usually other fruits were either jam or jelly…living in Florida now, I haven’t canned anything but usually put up strawberry freezer jam…have a good day on the farm❤

Thank you for sharing and for keeping the chicken in your mind at all steps.

I'm so happy that I found your Channel I just wish I had found it earlier. The way that y'all live is the way that I was raised, and I sure do miss it.

Just love fresh peaches... can you send a case over here to Australia and a jar of jam please..lol

Peaches are always fun...I did peaches like 3 weeks ago and didn't peaches were still in season. I pick @ Miss Angeles orchard here in Mt Airy...do you ever make peach salsa? I saved all my peach skins to make peach jelly too. While I gotcha, I saw in a previous video that you had elderberry bushes, will you have a video on that? I was blessed to gather 2 gallons of berries(already frozen and gleaned) and made 15 1/2 pint jars of jelly yesterday.. I love this time of the year..

peach jam was the first thing i (def not an expert) ever canned, wasnt bad. I got a video content idea... can you make a video explaining the upside down jar method? how, what, and why it works.

Haven't been able to find any peaches NE TN this year.

I made some strawberry jam a couple weeks ago, and it turned out thin for some reason. I followed the recipe on the pectin box exactly, and I'm guessing maybe the berries were juicier than I thought. It's still good, and can be used as syrup if necessary 😉. Your canning looks beautiful

We have the Peach truck coming to our Rual King this weekend. I have 2 questions though, why do you turn the jars upside down? Is that to get the air bubbles settled out? And these aren’t getting processed( water bath orPC)? If not, do you put them in the refrigerator or they can go to shelf with other canned foods? Sorry I’m just curious, did I miss you say how long they process in the canner? Sorry for all the questions, but I’ve never canned peaches, and I’m getting a good bit of them this weekend. What was that you added to the peaches? Thank you God Bless

Any idea if i could make these safely with honey?
