Beginners Recipe for Canning Peaches

We have peaches. Well, we bought some. Our peach tree is in pretty sad shape right now, and we are not likely to see any peaches from it for another two years. We did source some beautiful, delicious peaches from a Mennonite farmer near us who trades in quality produce with other farmers on the east coast. Now we have a lot of peaches and need to get them preserved for shelf-stable storage. Marti loves fruit butter because they are easy to make, preserves large volumes of fruit in a small jar, and is best used sparingly so they last longer. If you have never preserved fruit, you will gain great confidence from the amazing product you produce.
