Of all the things I miss in my life one near the very top of the list has to be my Mom's canned pears. When the local pears were in season we'd go buy a couple of boxes (50 lbs each) and she'd can almost every one. We had enough canned pears to have maybe 3 quarts a month for desert. Her peaches were spectacular too. Her sister always canned peaches with her and each of them would make up a 'special' quart for the county fair.
That's some great deep memories for me! Thank you.
Ah that’s awesome man, I’m glad you were able to reminisce about such a nice memory. That’s why I am trying to start these types of things so hopefully our son, someday will be able to look back fondly on it like this!
I would love to get those 50 pound boxes of peaches! I hate the skin of peaches but I love the taste of a nice ripe peach. I think in the past 2 years it’s the first time I’ve had a truly fresh peach from a local farm. I always used to just eat the junk ones from the store in questionable liquid. I’ve definitely come to love them now!

In Eastern Washington, in peach country (Omak) there is a local only peach called the donut. It's about the size of a Krispy Creme and is as sweet as can be. It only lasts a couple of days on the shelf so they don't raise many, but man are they good!
