We tried something new yesterday, making Peach jam using the crock pot. Linda and Larry were kind enough to give us over 10 lbs of peaches before they left for Florida. They have a peach tree in their yard and it obviously is doing well. Lisa and I started early yesterday peeling and slicing the fresh peaches for jam. Lisa found a recipe for it so we gave it a try. We decided to use stevia instead of sugar and a no sugar needed pectin. It was a very easy recipe to follow and total, including washing and peeling the peaches, was about 30 minutes plus 8 hours. When the slow cooker was done Lisa mashed the peaches and we pour the jam into the prepared canning jars. While the peach jam was cooking the Pickle Queens decided to make another 9 quarts of bread and butter pickles. I know it seems like we are making a lot of pickles but this year they are really good and they will make great gifts.
Today is George and Lisa's Anniversary so I would like to take this opportunity to wish them a very Happy Anniversary! 29 years and counting! WooHoo!
