Hi Toni great way for me to spend Saturday morning watching your video and doing this along with you. So informative thanks a million. I look forward to your videos. Thanks Texas
So I had a whole box of peaches I needed to do something with so I canned some of them thinking it would be easy and it was my 2nd time only to can anything. Man what a mess! I wish I had watched your video first! And your peaches were beautiful by the way!
Lovely peaches. We were so disappointed as we planted a dwarf peach tree that produced real well last year but this year got hit with a late frost and we are now looking at only 5 peaches on the tree. Great work and those peaches will taste real good this winter.
Oregon BassBoss...Sorry to hear that, but if it produced real well for you last year and the frost didn't damage the tree itself then perhaps next year?
@@HerHomesteadSkills The tree is fine but the frost damaged many of the emerging peaches. It was one of those sneaky frosts that wasn't predicted and we got caught. The tree is actually small enough to cover and we won't let that happen again next year. We don't have a great deal of space and so we go with the dwarf varieties which surprisingly produce pretty well.
I'm using my Tattlers for the first time . I've decided I'm through worrying about lids.... I ordered 2 hundred last night.I have 100 now and about 200 ball lids.I will be reusing my ball lids also. Oh well Ball will be the loser.
@@debbiewilson6527 ...absolutely...Always look for another solution, there usually is one, it may not be the "preferred" but if it works..It's better than fretting over what we cannot change!
Kristin Robertson...Well to complicate matters, although that is not my desire. Peaches can be packed in a variety of sugar/water syrup concoctions, normally defined as Very Light Syrup, Light Syrup, Medium Syrup, and Heavy Syrup. The ratio of sugar to water increases with the defined weight...and an individual CHOOSES the syrup weight based on the sweetness of the fruit. I trend towards the Light to Medium Syrup personally. HOWEVER Most would use a heavy syrup for peaches so 5 cups water & 3 1/4 cups sugar for a 9 pint load or 7 3/4 cups water & 5 1/4 cups sugar for a 7 quart load and I added this and the ratio for a Medium Syrup in the description as per your suggestion...Happy Canning !!!
Kristen Robertson: just make the syrup,& peel peaches.If you have extra syrup,can it up for next time.No one can give u EXACT pounds because of different sizes of peach's,how you slice them,Or half them.Quart,jars versus pint jars.No reason to LABEL the Homestead ppl as Passive/aggressive.Make more syrup,if you have more peach's. This is common sense.
My experience is the fruit floats whether I hot pack or cold pack. So this time I'm going going to cold pack. How many peaches did you have to make 10 pints? Thank you.
Thank you for the video. Gonna get my Georgia Elberta’s Peaches canned. What was the sugar water recipe? How much sugar to how much water. My freezer is already tight and am so glad I can can these wonderful peaches using the water bath.
Thanks for the tips, Toni! I have a few pounds of peaches that I was able to scrounge up given the early freeze. How ripe should they be to can? I want them to be ripe ENOugh, but still hold their shape.
The ripeness was for flavor. I compromised and as soon as they had any give at all, I sliced them and flash froze them so that I can choose what to do with them later. @@HerHomesteadSkills

peaches only need to be water bath canned...I have never canned frozen peaches, but I expect they will not hold up quite the same as fresh...My recommendation is to try a very small batch...say 2 pints perhaps and see if you like the results
It's possible that the peaches themselves are absorbing the water. That is more likely to happen using the raw pack method as the air in the peaches will be displaced and replaced with liquid during the canning process!
@@HerHomesteadSkills well it must leak into the water bath water.. I can tell because the water in the bath in slightly colored when I dump it out. . but the Jars are sealed .
Seems to Me this was a pretty good sized batch not a small batch I did a small batch tonight was 11 peaches made 3 quarts. Didn’t take all night to can them. 20 minute water bath.
