Hello again, all,
 
Just thought I'd let you know, I bottled my first peaches... ever, last 
weekend.   picked some of the best ones, blanched and peeled, sliced up and 
canned in light (really light... diabetic, you know) syrup.   Only one didn't 
seal, and they tasted absolutely delicious.   Came downstairs on sunday 
morning, saw the dozen bottles on the counter waiting to be taken to the 
storage room, and was feeling pretty satisfied with myself.   Then I 
remembered that my mom would put up anywhere from 2500 to 3000 quarts of 
various fruits and vegetables every summer.   sigh.....
 
Oh well, one starts somewhere.  It was kinda cool, though, and brought back a 
lot of childhood memories.   And we'll be canning more...
 
Ray
