Some mistakes in the typing above, suppose i did not proof read duh!!!! I also like the notion of you not having an actual canner pan of which does run about $25.00 and up. Thanks for the idea of using honey also of which i would never have thought of. thanks again Hello again. Some mistakes in the typing above, suppose i did not proof read duh!!!!

I am new at canning peaches, and my question is can you peel & slice the peaches (adding Fruit Fresh) a couple days before you can? I was thinking of slicing them & putting them in the refrigerator.

I did some canning as a youngster, but recently I got together with a couple of friends to can some apple butter and apple wedges. The friend who hosted us has been canning for years, and she told me that I can't can on my flat-top stove because of the pot that you use to process everything (i.e. the big pot for the water bath)... something about it being concave or extending more than 1 inch beyond the "eye" on the stove. But obviously you can, so maybe this hasn't been a problem for you? :) (i was looking at regular electric stoves yesterday, but it seems silly to replace my current one for that purpose, lol.)

Poke a few little holes into the plastic wrap (I use a toothpick) large enough for the flies to get in and the fruit flies will be attracted to the cup, and they go inside, but can't get out! When you're done doing peaches just throw the cup away!

The ratio and if the peaches will turn brown concern me. If anyone has used honey and can help I would really appreciate it. I’m really wondering about using honey when I can my peaches this year.

I have a question for you. I decided on a whim to pick some peaches today. More than my family can eat in a couple days. Unfortunately, I dropped the box on my way to the car and quite a few of them have tears and open flesh. So I started in on the freezing process as soon as I got home (the few minutes of returning phone messages already had them swarming with fruit flies). They aren't soft yet, being so fresh from the tree. The skins didn't want to come off of most of the peaches, it was really a struggle, and I remember doing the boiling water thing with my mother-in-law in the past; I'm pretty sure I'm doing it right, especially after reading your post. And when I sliced them to freeze them, they were still very hard in the middle of many of the peaches. Should I just wait a day or two for them to soften before I continue? Will frozen peaches be any good if they're only partially ripened when I froze them? And is there anyway I can keep the dratted fruit flies away??? Loving the 101 sorts of posts!

I skipped peeling my peaches for freezing and canning and they turned out just fine. I found you can just slice up the peaches and layer them in one layer in ziploc bags without having to use the parchment paper and cookie sheets. They break apart very easily. Kept it real easy for me! Great job Laura! I skipped peeling my peaches for freezing and canning and they turned out just fine.
