After I got all my organizing and rearranging done to my satisfaction I decided I needed to relearn to can!! We used to do this all the time when the kids were little as a summer project and I realized I missed doing it, besides I now have an EMPTY shelf in the laundry cupboard that would store canned things perfectly...SOOOOO last week we took a day trip to Fredricksburg Texas to get some of their famous peaches and tomatoes and we Scored!!
I got 1/2 bushel of peaches and enough tomatoes (over riped and CHEAP!) to make 2 gallons of salsa and spaghetti sauce! SEE!!!
We are having our first sampling of it tonight...this is a family recipe that Mike's uncle Sam never wanted to share for years but finally did and it is so
easy to make....promise that will come first of next week AND the secret to putting up peaches that the grower shared with me...until then...have a good weekend and a HAPPY FATHER'S DAY with your family!!

Hey Dana, I have no idea what I am doing, hope you receive this comment."I miss you" I really do need a Homespun Cottage fix.
Sounds like you are enjoying retirement and I can't wait for that home made peach ice cream...I am still going to come see your new room one of these days. Dottie
Yea! I'm just waitin' on my figs to ripen and I will join you in the process. I just freeze the peaches and tomatoes I get and use them in cobblers and sauces and stews later on...that's the lazy way! Itching for a day out but need to wait a while.
Your jars look so pretty! What fun!!
