Peaches and the Flu

I ended up having a sicko this week. Wednesday night she started coughing her guts out. By Thursday it was a full blown crazy constant cough accompanied with major headache. By Friday we had fever. Today she's feeling better, thank goodness, but the cough lingers. Have I ever mentioned how grumpy I am when I don't get any sleep? So instead giving in to the grump, I decided to can peaches...and nectarines. Never done that before, but this seems to be my season of new things. I am still reeling over how few bottles you get from so much work, but I'm proud as can be that it worked. I have bottled peaches, bottled nectarines, peach jam, nectarine jam, peach sauce...for ice cream, and we had peach leather, but we ate the good batch and had to toss the batch that I made too thick! Good stuff! There was a peach pie with REAL whipped cream at one point, but it was so delicious that I did not have a chance at getting a photo. I would invite you over for a taste, but you might stick to the floor and never ever be able to leave again. I should probably be mopping instead of updating my blog...but my mantra is that only boring women have clean houses. I am not boring.
