Let the canning begin!

M picked a couple of ice cream buckets full of peaches from the front yard tree this morning. He and T peeled, pitted, trimmed, and sliced them.

I got the canning kettles ready to make preserves (since that was what M wanted).

Here's the peachy sweet stuff--the pieces are kind of big--the recipe didn't say what size, it just said 8 cups of chopped peaches.

Everything is ready--just waiting to put the peachy stuff in jars.

And here you have it! Thirteen jars of peachy sweet stuff! Looks too chunky to spread on bread--don't know if it will set up--but it will be peachy and sweet on waffles or vanilla ice cream.
