Millions of peaches

We all know that I love summer... that is no secret.  But what you may not know... Fall is probably right up there too as one of my favorites.  I love sweaters and hot chocolate.  And I love bringing in the harvest.  Sounds pretty corny right?  It kind of is.  But I don't mind.

I really love bringing in all the fruits and veggies and spending a few days getting things all stored up and ready for winter.  I'm like a food hoarder I guess.  I love nothing more than going down to my pantry and seeing all the jars lined up in a row with peaches and pears that I put up for my family.  Seriously.  It's a source of pride around here.

We were able to get our hands on a good amount of peaches this year.  I canned 12 quarts of peach slices, made 3 quarts of peach butter, dried several pounds of peach slices and cut up and froze the rest.  It was awesome.  Now bring on the pears...
