I don't mash the peaches. It sounds like a problem with how it set up, so I think that might mean one of the boil stages didn't go quite right (maybe not enough boil time), but that's just a guess. I just know it's not necessary to mash them! I hope you have better luck next time! Hi, Cheri! I don’t mash the peaches.

The peaches separated from the juice with each jar having 2/3 juice and 1/3 peach chunks. I chopped the peaches into small chunks. Am I suppose to mash the peaches? Any ideas on what went wrong?

Must can peaches. Haven't got any peach trees. I see a potential problems there. Must plant peach trees next spring. Wait two years. Problem solved.

Our peach tree is overwhelmed with fruit. We put up 26 jars of jelly yesterday, and still have peaches coming out the whaazooo. And figs will be ripe soon. I guess we'll be giving lots of good jammin' stuff for Christmas this year. Wahoo – your bucket of peaches looks just like ours! Our peach tree is overwhelmed with fruit.

Thank you for sharing!! Teri, well, =I= don't think I'm skinny! But I will say that I don't cook all this food just for me because I have a houseful including two teenage boys. Sometimes a whole loaf of bread disappears no sooner than I take it out of the oven! I do love to bake, but I don't make desserts every day. I do have homemade bread every day, but I'm most likely to be eating bread with vegetables than anything else. I don't eat a lot of junk food. (Mostly this is because I can't get to what junk food I buy fast enough--the kids make off with it!) I don't keep candy around on a normal basis, either. (Not unless it's homemade candy.) I really think there's something to eating primarily a whole foods diet, meaning a lot of fresh food, homemade. I don't eat very much processed packaged food. I also don't drink sodas. I drink a lot of water. I love water. That said, I need to lose ten pounds right now! You all have great ideas! Thank you for sharing!!
