plum crazy, canning Peaches

OK, sometimes you go a little crazy and buy 2 lugs of California grown peaches in Minnesota and haul them back to western South Dakota. They probably drove right by here on I-90 on the way east. :o)

Then you have to can them right now because they got ripe quicker than you planned! They are yummy, but after canning 27 pints of peaches and a batch of peach jam that didn't jam, they lose their glamor. Thankfully, half of the second box is still a little green, so they can wait a day or so. Trying a recipe for peach barbeque sauce on chicken, an attempted salvage of 1 of the 5 jars of the juicy jam. Any recipes for what to do with soupy peach jam are most welcome.

The peaches are amazing this year, so are the cherries.

for the soupy stuff? just parse it out into ice cube trays, freeze it, pop out the cubes and bag them. that stuff will taste mighty good over ice cream or pancakes this winter. marge
