The Great Peach Crisis of 2005 continues

We are harvesting more and more each day. I went out yesterday and bought 10 pounds of sugar. Not only will we be making Heavenly Jam (peach) in great amounts, we will also have Concord Grapes to be made into jelly later in the season and apples to be sauced! Since we have a ton of peaches, I am thinking of trying at least one batch of Peach Salsa. Does anyone have a recipe??
Once the last peach is plucked, Hubby will need to do some repair pruning to the tree. My poor, poor Peach tree. The very funny thing is, for every peach you saw on the tree in the post below, he had thinned off 9 this spring, as they developed. Apparently Peach trees can really set huge crops.
So now we get ready and in a few days I’ll be writing all about the joys and stickiness of canning Peach Preserve!

  1. I have never had peach jam but I have to tell you that after seeing your peach pix I really am salivating for some. Save me a jar!

  2. Oh. MY. GAWD.

    I grew up with a huge peach tree in my grandparent’s back yard, and they were just the best. My mom used to peel and slice them, and then freeze them in Ziploc freezer bags in “pie” increments, so that when she wanted to make a peach pie, she only took out one bag at a time.

    That jam sounds amazing!!!

    And no, I’ve never made peach salsa, but I’ve had it, and it is delish!
