8 cloves
3/4 cup orange marmalade
1 cup dried apricots


Instructions

darkening.( I dont treat my fruit, just peel and put into cold water)
Combine water, sugar, lemon juice and cloves in a large saucepot.
Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Drain pears. Cook
pears one layer at a time in syrup 15 minutes, turning frequently.
Remove pears from syrup. Add marmalade and dried apricots to syrup;
bring to a boil and cook 1 minute. Pack hot pears into hot jars,
alternating with apricots, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Carefully
ladle hot syrup over fruit, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Remove air
bubbles with a nonmetallic spatula. Wipe jar rim clean. Place lid on
jar with sealing compound next to glass. Screw band down evenly and
firmly just until a point of resistance is met - fingertip tight.

into cold water) Rinse and drain. Combine sugar and water in a large
saucepot. Bring to a boil; remove from heat. Stir in liqueur. Place
apples, pears, pineapple spears, and grapes, one layer at a time, in
the syrup. Simmer fruit in the syrup 5 minutes. Pack hot fruit and a

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :)

Peaches

Select firm, ripe peaches. Dunk into boiling water for about a
minute, to loosen the skins, then dunk into cold water and drain. Cut
peaches in half, pit and peel. Drop peaches into an ascorbic and
citric acid solution to prevent darkening (remember to rinse before
packing).Pack peaches, cavity side down, in hot jars, in overlapping
layers, leaving 1/2 inch head space. Cover peaches with boiling
syrup, leaving 1/2 inch head space. Release bubbles and add more
syrup if needed. Adjust caps. Process pints for 25 minutes, quarts 30
minutes in boiling water bath.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :)
Pears

The best pears for canning are Bartlett pears. Choose firm ripe
pears, not soft ones.

Make a light syrup. Wash pears, cut into halves or quarters, core and
peel, then drop into ascorbic/citric acid solution.(I have never used
this, its supposed to keep the pears from turning brown, I just put
mine in cold wated until I am ready for them, they have never turned
brown)) Cook pears 5 to 6 minutes in hot syrup. Pack hot into hot
jars, leaving 1/2 inch head space. Remove air bubbles; adjust caps.
Process pints 20 minutes, quarts 25 minutes in boiling water bath.

CINNAMON PEARS-add 1 table spoon red hots (the candy) to each pint,
add 2 tablespoon to a quart. Also, if you don't want alot of sugar
just use 1/2 of the light syrup recipe and the red hots.


Syrup

Light- 2 cups sugar to 1 quart water
Medium- 3 cups sugar to 1 quart water
Heavy- 4& 3/4 cups sugar to 1 quart water

I have all kinds of canning recipes, (we know alot of amish families
and they have some of the best canning recipes I think).
Also, ever eat green tomatoe pie? Tastes just like an apple pie!
Really :)

Hi Tami -

I made an upside down peach cake this morning that looks and smells amazing
(I'm not sure it's going to last til dessert tonight). It's small - serves
4-6. Here's the recipe:

First, prepare the batter:

Sift 3/4 cups flour with 1 tsp baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt
In separate bowl, beat 3 egg yolks til thick and light
Slowly add 1/2 cup sugar to egg yolks and beat til blended
Add 1/4 cup boiling water and 1/2 tsp vanilla
Add flour mixture a little at a time til blended

Then:
Put 3 tbsp butter and 3 tbsp brown sugar in an 8" skillet
Put a layer of peach slices on top of butter and sugar - make them look
pretty - this is the top of your cake
Pour batter over peaches

Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes, til center of cake springs back
Turn upside down and top with whipped cream if desired

I picked 27 pounds in 15 minutes the other day. They're delicious, but I am
getting a little tired of pealing/slices fruit!
