SEPTEMBER- Canning Peaches, Apples, Plums and Prunes!

I have a new peach tree that just started producing peaches this year.  I picked nearly a bushel of peaches from it and I have now canned nearly two cases to eat this winter!

 Today was September 22, 2012.
Then on September 24 we canned quite a few jars of Raspberry-Plum Jam.

There was still time so we canned more peaches...

Then on September 26th we canned more Plum Jam and Apple Pie filling.

While we were at it we decided to make a Plum, a Prune and an Apple pie!

On September 27 I canned 11 quarts of Peach Pie Filling!

SEPTEMBER- Canning a variety of Jams.

This morning I went out and picked a lot of fruit from my garden and today we made 15, 20 oz. jars of all kinds of Jam.

 

We made several combinations of raspberry and peach, peach and prune, and peach and Plum.

 

SEPTEMBER- Canning Raspberries and Drying Plums

My Raspberry patch is producing really good this year.

Today I canned 6 small jars of raspberries and I froze the rest.

 

This is the largest crop of Stanley prunes my tree has ever produced!  They look more like giant grapes all over the tree.

I cut a bunch of them in half and set them out in the sun to start them drying.

My other plum tree is producing a crop of very juicy and sweet plums too!

AUGUST 25-27- Making Peach, Prune and Raspberry Pie

My early peaches are coming on fast so I went and picked them.

Then we made peach pie!

Next we made Peach, Plum and Raspberry desert!

I love harvest time!!!
