Ross and I made peach jam today from peaches grown in our very own orchard. So far we have nineteen half-pints made from our yellow peaches (the other seven were in the water bath at the time of the photo). We were discussing canning some white peach halves tomorrow. We also froze a whole bunch to use in baking (along with the rest of the blueberries!). Today is the first real payoff we've gotten from having dug those big tree holes in our rocky, Connecticut soil. Now if we could only get the apples and pears on board…
Oh, and by the way, the best way to eat our homemade jam is on Ross' homemade bread, fresh out of the oven and warm.
