As said in my earlier post, we have fruit trees in our backyard! By the time we got here all the apples were already gone (the neighborhood kids made a game out of throwing apples at each other) but there were tons of peaches--which are better in my opinion anyway! We decided we should not let them go to waste and learn to do something with the millions of peaches. So...we went and bought some canning things for freezer and bottled jam. Because so many of the peaches had fallen on the cement, jam was the only thing we could really do with them.
We don't have steamer or anything (or a lid, or a pot with two handles apparently!)
Despite my lack of training, and the proper tools required, we managed some nice jam if I do say so myself! Unfortunately, we only used peaches that had fallen to the ground (so they were not the prettiest ones) because the next night we planned to actually pick peaches, but when we went to the backyard they were all gone!!! We are not exactly sure if the landlord decided she wanted them, or a hungry family in our neighborhood wanted them, either way....I am sure whoever ended up with them enjoyed them--they were wonderful!
