So when we got together and lived in rural Connecticut, we started to can together. We had purple rosette/blue ribbon peaches at the Guilford Agricultural Fair every year. I loved doing it. But, we also had air conditioning! Peach pie is my favorite!!! Have a great time at your family reunion. I think they are amazing events -- with other people's families!Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037665037475387929.post-35263696177201299282012-08-07T21:27:21.693-05:002012-08-07T21:27:21.693-05:00Linda: Having a family made the work of canning pe...Linda: Having a family made the work of canning peaches worthwhile!<br /><br />Joanne: Wow, those are some interesting details on the finer points of canning.<br /><br />Meggie: Yes, I would definitely opt for peach pie, or peaches in cream myself.<br /><br />Owl: It's a darn shame you've never had the pleasure of a piece of peach pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

We didn't have that many peaches in LA -- until my dad went to Georgia for some reason or other and drove thru the night to get home with baskets of peaches, the jars and so on. It would've been cheaper if he'd bought canned peaches at the GA stand, but, as the oldest child I got stuck with washing the new jars, yay, me, LOL! Anyway, by the time we finished, the kitchen was a disaster, we were a mess, and we kids had 'stolen' so many bites of peaches our tummies looked like peaches. But, oh, the memories. It was sooo worth it. And a peach pie is too yummy for words.Kittie Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756250649095903317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037665037475387929.post-40303429089273476782012-08-07T07:07:50.108-05:002012-08-07T07:07:50.108-05:00Oh, biting into a peach, the juice dribbling down ...Oh, biting into a peach, the juice dribbling down your chin...heaven!<br />Jane xJane and Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08102086552682194819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037665037475387929.post-48588647912292347922012-08-07T04:32:17.651-05:002012-08-07T04:32:17.651-05:00Peach pie sounds fantastic!

The ...Canning season was always during a heat wave. The peach halves went rounded side up into the quart jar and went around counter clockwise until the jar was full. If there were no fork tine holes in the peach half it meant mom had a child small enough to sit on the counter and put a peach half in with his/her hand.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834682329952369721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037665037475387929.post-86744802506641539242012-08-06T16:35:36.446-05:002012-08-06T16:35:36.446-05:00I canned peaches and pears when my children were s...I canned peaches and pears when my children were small.
