Every year the Knights of Columbus at our church sell peaches. We used to buy a half case and just try to eat them before they went bad and then freeze what ever was left "for pie". I don't ever make peach pie. Ever. Ok, well, maybe once in a while, but we still have frozen peaches from last year in the big freezer, so not very often.
This year we bought a whole case. The kids have made a dent in them by eating at least a couple each per day, but that still leaves a lot of peaches. I think the picture shows the last layer (of 2 or 3 layers).
I identified the "squishy" peaches...and using my handy Ball Blue Book Home Guide to Canning and Freezing (a wedding gift that I once thought, "um, what am I going to do with this?" I use it often in the fall to deal with my excess produce....) whipped up some peach jam....
I only made a half recipe, although I suspect these three jars will last the winter, unless someone really gets a hankering for some jam.
Now...what should I do with the rest of the peaches?
