Feeling peachy?

Let's talk about the perfect peaches at the farm stand down the road.

They FEEL perfect. 

They LOOk perfect.

They SMELL perfect.

They TASTE p-e-r-f-e-c-t.

And I'm sure if peaches could make noise, these ones would sound like angels singing.

Today, I made those perfect peaches into positively peachy preserves. Oh boy, oh boy!

The recipe calls for twelve ripe peaches but I obviously went with lucky number thirteen - one for eating :)

Here's the tricky part: you have to peel them. It's actually not too bad, just boil the peaches for a minute, plop them in ice water, and the skin should come right off!

What was I saying about the way they look? 

Oh, right...perfect. Hello beautiful sunset.

Post-attack by the potato masher. Are you wishing for smell-o-vision yet?

Twelve smooshed peaches + three tablespoons lemon juice + one cup sugar + one pack fruit pectin = Positively Peachy Preserves.

TA-DA!
