peaches and pears

This year we bought 125 pounds (5 boxes) of peaches and 50 pounds (2 boxes) of pears.  We have dedicated 3 nights in the past couple of weeks to canning.  I did one batch in the day, while the kids were awake.  Pepper brought the pears in from the garage (one at a time to keep her occupied), Tabor put them into the cans after I had peeled and sliced them and Kitt sat in her highchair and ate scraps.  It went okay, but it was a one time wonder.  Canning with Robert after the kids go to bed is loads easier.  Next year maybe we will expand our horizons and can some vegetables.  (meat in a can looks nasty to me, I am not ready to go there yet)

you are awesome. Canning is one of those things I wish I did but never do.
