The time has finally arrived...peaches are in season! We ran out of bottled peaches forever ago (it was probably only a month or two but when you have a craving it seems like forever!) and could hardly wait for them to come into season to bottle more. There is no comparison between home-processed fruit and store-bought canned fruit. I suppose it's still a matter of personal preference, but for us the choice is obvious. Not to brag, but they turned out amazing!
In all honesty, I do have to admit that this batch was my second attempt. The varieties of peaches available here are different than what we used growing up so I had to experiment to find the best kind. The first batch turned out about 3 bottles when I was expecting 7...not cool! In case you are wondering, white peaches are not the type to use for canning. Sweet yellow peaches are the way to go.
