Just Peachy !


Remember those peaches I got?



They would NOT Peal worth a tinker's "D" To peal peaches you immerse them in boiling water for a moment.



Then into a cold bath to loosen the fuzzy skin and peal them.



This did NOT happen so I removed any bad spots from the peach then cut them into the blender.



I added some grapes and cored out some apples too and tossed in.



I had some Peach / Mango juice I added to the blender. Peaches also require a touch of Almond Extract to retain flavor.



I blended all the fruit



I added about 5 cups of sugar and brought the mixture to a rolling boil for about 15 minutes.



After jarring it up there is just shy of five quarts with that little fancy jelly jar full up front.

It's been windy and around 55F here for the last few days. By Tuesday, we are into snow for 2 or 3 days.

Store bought just does NOT have the same good flavor. NOR can you buy grape juice with REAL grape flavor.

We are decent in the 60's until Friday when it is to rain and temps drop again with highs only in the 40's.
