What’s Cooking?!

Peaches that’s what! A sweet friend let me come to her house and pick all the peaches off her tree and she had a ton! I was so excited!!

I have always wanted to can peaches. Now was my chance. And can I did. The kids were a big help! Marci and Jordan even came over and helped out! This is probably a fifth of how we actually canned! We did a ton!

We also made Peach Jam!

And Raspberry peach jam!

These jams are divine!!! I prefer the raspberry peach because I LOVE raspberries and Adam likes the peach the best. I hate putting so much energy into something that is bad or just okay so I was really nervous making this jam. The first time Adam tried it he said it was the BEST jam he had ever tasted! Score!! It can’t get any better than that!

I also made strawberry jam but some how I lost the pictures. Bummer!

I canned tomatoes too. I can’t wait to make homemade spaghetti sauce with my organic tomatoes!

In other news that I don’t want to wait until tomorrow to share………Tori said her first word today! I know I was very skeptical when Nik came and told me this morning. But I have proof. Yep that’s right! Nik and Ammon taught her her first word and Nik captured it on camera! Are you ready?! Tori’s first word is Stop! Check it for yourself!

    That’s incredible. What an unusal first word. She says it so clearly…emphasizing the “P”. So cute. I’m glad she wasn’t saying it to get someone to leave her alone.

    You have been so busy putting up food. Good for you. It takes alot of time and you have to let other things go because the fruit can’t wait. You are so dedicated!
