Making Peach Jam

[@ScotMcDonald-ez3lp]

Those were some old canning lids. Reminds me of when I was a kid.

My mom had ones like that as well.

For anyone who noticed and is wondering, yes, I did get a tooth knocked out. It was due to facial trauma completely unrelated to jam making. Don’t worry, peaches are actually quite pacifistic.

There weren’t any jar explosions either.

@@PNWSuburbanHomesteading Peaches may be peaceful, but some of those jars can be downright grumpy. In all the canning I’ve done, I’ve had two jars actually explode and about five or six crack and fall apart in the canner.

I’ve been lucky enough that the only breakage I’ve had has been in clean jars being sterilized in boiling water.
