Yes, while I was canning yesterday I had the song from the '90s by The Presidents of the United States of America running through my head. I decided to try my hand at peach butter. Apple butter has to be one of my all time favorite treats from the fall/winter, so why not try it with another fruit that I like? I went to Frank's Farm Market for peaches and after a pep talk from the wonderful woman who runs it; I was ready! (A nap was thrown in there too.) It took a couple hours from start to finish, but that included processing the fruit as well as their time in the water bath.
It turned out thinner than I like but the taste is wonderful! I was kinda sad this morning when I opened the jar and it was a little runny, but after my husband put it on toast, he encouraged me to make another batch! I'm not sure if I will because of my plans to make apple butter and applesauce in the next few weeks. (Oh, and did I mention that my kitchen looked awful once I had finished?) I will definitely put it on my list for next year!
That sounds yummy. You sure are ambitious!
ReplyDeleteI know I'd love to do apple butter and sauce, but as the weeks are flying by I am getting more tired and need to reserve my energy. So, I may be buying those this year ;), but I'd love to can if possible!
