This is a chatty video but I had a lot of information I wanted to share :). Learn how to can up peaches, make infused sugar syrups and tips and tricks to prevent siphoning and fruit float.
For a canner load of 8-9 pints you will need:
~10 lbs fresh yellow peaches or nectarines
5 1/4 c. water
2 1/4 c. sugar
Optional flavor additions:
vanilla bean
peach schnapps or other liquor
dried spices: star anise, all spice berries, cloves, cinnamon sticks
For hot packing: In a large saucepan place drained fruit in syrup, water, or juice and bring to boil. Fill jars with hot fruit and cooking liquid, leaving ½-inch headspace. Remove air bubbles. Wipe jar rim. Center lid and apply band to fingertip tight.
Process pint jars for 20 minutes, quart jars for 25 minutes in boiling water or steam canner, adjusting for altitude as follows:
1,001-3,000 ft ~ increase processing time by 5 minutes
3,001-6,000 ft ~ increase processing time by 10 minutes
6,001-8,000 ft ~ increase processing time by 15 minutes
8,001-10,000 ft ~ increase processing time by 20 minutes
Allow jars to rest undisturbed for 12-24 hours. Remove bands, check seals, wash and label jars. Store in a cool dark dry place.
This tutorial is for informational purposes only. It is your responsibility to follow all instructions for your canner and water bath/steam canning. Always adhere to safe canning guidelines.

I planted a peach tree when I moved to this house. I have peaches coming out of every corner of my kitchen starting in august. I can about two bushels for us, I taught my daughter how to canned them for her family (another bushel of peaches) and gave them to more family. We got at least 5 bushels of peaches last year! I get so excited to see them getting ripe but when they are all off the tree I am just as excited! We absolutely love the peaches. I do raw pack them though because we like the flavor better. I also use a light to medium syrup. Many years ago I used the light syrup and it seemed to draw out the flavor of the peaches, it may have been the peaches that year but it was such a disappointment that I bumped up the syrup a bit the next year just to be safe and I have stuck with it 😊

You mentioned only using water for canning peaches. I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT ONE. My first time canning peaches was in 2019. I only used water to fill jars. I will never ever ever ever do that again. The peaches turned to a dark color and didn't look very appetizing. I opened the jar, it maintained a good seal and didn't have a bad smell or anything. They just didn't look appetizing. This year I hope to have a good crop and will definitely make a good syrup for them. As I always say, you learn by doing. I won't say what I normally say since this is a PG show. 😊

The last time i canned peaches was about 4 years ago, we were given two pecks that were picked in GA and brought up to us by a neighbor. What a blessing that was! Now this year i am awaiting a peach truck to come up later this month so i can buy two boxes to can. I did do some with the cinnamon stick in them and they turned red as they sat on my shelf, and also got kind of spicy, so i wont do that again. I do also enjoy light syrup rather than medium or heavy. Might try a batch in the white grape juice, isn’t that what store bought peaches “in 100% juice” are in??Thanks for your video, love all the tidbits you share with us in every video.

I just found your channel and so glad I did. Your information was very helpful and kept me from throwing out all the fruit right away. I canned nectarines yesterday for the first time and in checking the seals this morning, they all sealed but were very sticky and the fruit was floating but had little to no loss of liquid. As I was washing off the jars and turning them, I noticed bubbles coming up and it startled me. Will bubbles come up because of the headspace after tipping or is that a bad sign? I may just end up opening all the jars and making something like cobbler and not take a chance leaving them on the shelf or freeze dry them. And next time, if I am brave enough to try again, I will leave the jars in the canner a little longer before removing them and see if that helps. Thanks again for all the info and will probably be binge watching your channel for a while.

I live in the UK and getting good quality, orange peaches is getting more difficult. Lots of people who dislike peaches are buying the white peaches and shops are stocking those as a preference. I use peach compote in cooking, so I love to can peaches. I usually add lemon juice to the syrup to ensure adequate acidity as I need the syrup to sour cream in the dish. I also add a drop of the syrup before the first peach half, to make sure that the void in the fruit isn't just filled with air. Trying to get that first peach half the right way down was the hardest part, I had a battle. Thanks for advice re. white peaches - I hadn't come across that before.

It looks like the Carolina peaches were cling-free. I have only been able to get cling peaches, so I would have to cut them in slices or chunks. I canned reduced sugar peach jam this past weekend with some delicious juicy cling peaches. I don't worry about discoloration at the top of the jam because of the reduced sugar. The jars never last long! Peach jam is a family favorite. I will try canning the peaches in light syrup. Wonderful video. Thanks, Carol!

This was helpful and reassuring. I canned peaches for the first time last year and found it frustrating, starting with the blanching/peeling, which just didn't seem to work for me. I did slices and tried hot pack, raw pack, waterbath and even pressure canning - definitely got fruit float, siphoning, and some seal failures (didn't mind eating those right away though) where some fruit got sucked up under the lid. It was sticky and messy, and at the end I thought canning peaches might not be for me. However, I sure loved being able to eat those canned peaches over the winter and now I think I'm ready to try again. I liked the texture and flavor of the raw pack better than the hot pack.

@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, try again! The key to blanching is not to over blanch them. I have found 30 seconds is perfect even if your water has not returned to boiling. It’s still hot enough to cause the peeling to release from the flesh. Good luck this year. I hope all goes well 💕

This is a great video, Carol. I've made several batches of your low-sugar peach jam and am planning to try canning peaches in light syrup this weekend. Can you answer a few questions for me? - How firm or soft should the peaches be? - Is it safe to half the recipe for the sugar syrup if you're only going to make 4-5 pints? (I use a large pot for water bath canning, and it's plenty tall but not as wide as your canner.) - When you have fruit float, do the tops of the peaches actually end up higher than the syrup in the jar? If so, is that a safety concern? - How long do canned peaches generally keep on the shelf? Grateful for your help, and excited to expand my canning repertoire!

@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 2 жыл бұрын

The peaches should give slightly when pressed. Yes you can safely half the sugar syrup

@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 2 жыл бұрын

With fruit float the tops of the peaches can be above the syrup. Not a safety concern but what’s above the syrup may discolor some but still safe to eat Can peaches will last without a change in quality for about 18 months 😊

My directions for my steam canner is to leave the lid on for 5 mins after shutting off the heat. I have the same canner. They do not say to take the lid off. You must wait the 5 minutes with the lid on and the canner off.

@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 2 жыл бұрын

I contacted the person who did the steam canning research, Barb Ingham from Wisconsin Madison University to confirm the correct process. She said it is not necessary to wait the five minutes. Your processing time is over when you remove from the heat.

@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 2 жыл бұрын

This is her exact response Carol, At the end of the processing time, you may remove the lid and lift the jars out and place on a rack or towel for cooling. You do not need to leave the jars in the canner or otherwise wait 5 minutes. The current recommendation to wait 5 minutes in a boiling water canning process is due to risk of jar breakage with the much thinner glass being supplied these days and to allow food contents to ‘settle’, it is not a recommendation based on food safety per se (although you should not eat food from a cracked jar for fear of glass being in the food). Here is what the National Center for Home Food Preservation states re boiling water canning: “When the jars have been processed in boiling water for the recommended time, turn off the heat and remove the canner lid. Wait 5 minutes before removing jars to allow the canner contents to settle. This waiting period is not required for safety of the food when using USDA or University of Georgia processing times, however.” The same disclaimer of the waiting period applies to steam canning and recipes such as those in the Wisconsin Safe Food Preservation Series publications. Regards, Barb

@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 I don’t understand why we wouldn’t just follow the manufacturers instructions? We do for pressure canning and water bath canning. It’s easy enough to just leave the lid on for 5 min and then take it off and remove the jars. If that is what has been tested for that particular steam canner then why mess around with it. I will keep doing what the manufacturer has put in my instruction manual because I’m really crazy about safety. But to each their own. Thanks for your reply. 🙂🌸
