How do I can (or jar) peaches?
We have just moved to a place that has peach trees. My children LOVE can/jarred peaches. Can somebody tell me how to do so and what spices to use. Thanks!!
Answers:
"fishineasy" has the correct canning time for boiling-water canning of peaches. But she mistyped the head-space for the liquid. Both the fruit and liquid should be 1/2 inch head-space. Also it is not advisable to use a metal tool to release the air bubbles as it can scratch the jar and cause failure of the glass during canning. Plastic or wood is better. Remember the timing for the canning begins after the water has reached a full, rolling boil.
