50# ended up at about 1 dozen jars. Other than a test batch when these were picked last season, this is my first time canning.
We recently moved and our new town is known for its peaches and cherries. The family got in a little over their heads and we ended up with 50# last season that we all pitted, vacuum sealed and froze. It occurred to me that maybe I should can all of that before it starts again next month. Oops. This year I hope to can them fresh, though there wasn’t any discernible flavor loss in the freezing process. For those who caught my marmalade post, I kept an eye on the thermometer and hit the sweet spot. Turned out great!
I used Balls Complete Guide to Home Preserving for all but the Christmas Jam. Sharing the links in the comments.
If anyone has some safe/tested cherry or peach recipes I’d love to see them! TIA

I couldn’t find a link for the Cherry Chutney, but it’s in the book.
May I have some?
Is that white box with a tube on it a cherry pit remover? If so would you mind sharing what type, if it works well, and how long its lasted? Looking into getting one myself, thanks!
Oh! You made the marmalade toffee post! It’s good to see that you did not make toffee this time.
