My wonderful Mother-in-law and her newlywed husband stopped in for a quick overnight stay. They came bearing gifts: a box full of freshly picked Utah peaches and a big bowl of raspberries. We went to work canning 15 quarts of peaches and making a batch of raspberry jam. As she was pulling the last of the jars out of the pot, Gigi remarked, "There's just something about canning that makes you feel like you've accomplished something." Amen.Thanks so much for adding to our storehouse.

Those look wonderful. Peaches canned at home taste so much better than those you buy in the store.
I'm super impressed with your mad skilz.
Seriously- canning is on my list of stuff to learn how to do-very impressive.
Congratulations to your mother-in-law!
And the fruit looks delicious! I hope to can someday soon - but the price of fruit is through the roof out here!
Love you guys!
Congratulations to Chad's mom!
I want to be that good of a mother. I plan to be. Watch for an upcoming canning post--sometime before Ben turns fifteen.
I am dying of jealousy...I miss Utah tomatoes, zuchini, peaches and raspberries...Nothing was on yet when I visited!
Your writing about Kate and the peaches is so poetic. You should be a writer!
