Summer in a Jar

Peaches are one of Colin's few foods that he can eat.  As we were driving up to Chelan I kept eyeing the fresh peaches at all the fruit stands through Eastern Washington.  Capitalizing on my dad's new-found love for preserving fruit (?!) I rallied the troops to help me can a year's supply of peaches for this cute boy. 

 The kitchen was a disaster...and so were we.  Yikes - check out our hair!  But it was totally fun and exhausting!

Mom kept remembering years of helping her mother can all sorts of fruits and veggies growing up and was full of tips.  Who knew that she was a pro?  We canned 24 jars of beautiful peaches!  3 hours later.  It was quite a process.  I loved it.
