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.

Too bad the peaches were woody and unpealable. However, you still managed to put them to good use and ended up with an excellent blended preserve. Great recovery.

It's really windy here as a slow moving, wet cold front moves in. Snow is in the forecast for Tue night and Wed, but it shouldn't be too much.

Ever since completing my garage roof repair, I have been so tired all the time that I fall asleep every time I sit down. I must have been running on adrenaline only while doing the roof work, and now I need days, maybe weeks for my body to recover.

I know the feeling and just can't stay awake and just set down for a nap.

I love peaches, but never find any over here that are juicy and tasty. So I stopped buying them. Your final peach mix spread looks very delicious. I would like to try it !
Please, give your body enough time to rest....
