I miss you and your family soooo much. I really enjoyed watching the little house and all it’s ‘comings and going’s’. You ended suddenly and I’ve often thought about you all and I hope you are all growing up in good health. Time has marched on and I had a stroke 3 yrs ago which put pay to all my gardening but I can still knit and crochet. I send love to you all❤️.
Easter, Girl.....I just followed your DIY canning peaches video..... My husband who said he didn't like canned peaches ( from the store) ..said I was wasting my time because he wasn't going to eat then, WELL.....guess who just ran to the store for ice cream and busted a jar open....yep HE DID... THANK YOU GIRL
Excellent video! Peaches were the very first thing my mother-in-law taught me to can 32 years ago. Even though I can lots of foods, I still have a special spot in my heart for peach season. Sunshine in a jar!
I'm so glad I found your video on UA-cam... LIFE CHANGING! I've been struggling to get nice looking peaches when trying to get them off the pit. I did exactly what you did on your video and Viola! I just wanted to express my gratitude. Thank You Thank You!! This year they are gorgeous
Awesome! Just think my Mother had four kids, worked, raised a garden and canned everything she could get her hands on! It was just a way of life for her. Thanks Esther for sharing your life with us....
Loved your mama's material. Got her first book from a library in "81" and then promptly ordered it and also have the encyclopedia of country living....It has been such a joy to find you. Imagine my suprise.. You are a wonderful teacher...And those peaches look so good...
I love your personality and smile! Your videos are fun and informational. I would love to see a tour of your homestead. I envy your outdoor kitchen! I love being outside and I love canning. You get to do both. Very cool!
I love her outdoor kitchen also, I'm blessed to be able to get an outdoor kitchen of my dreams! I'm moving to our new property of 2 acres that's off grid and on overgrown raw land. It took us 2 yes of payments every month to pay if off so now we are ready to start living there and plan how we are going to build our homestead. Starting from ground zero and a blank canvas. I found a wood cook stove exactly just like Esther's about 3 yrs ago for $75 and I've been waiting for the day my dream outdoor kitchen is built. I don't have it yet and it could take another year or two but I'm trying to wait patiently because I know these things take time when you're on a budget and having to collect all the things to make a homestead.
Esther. Thank you so much for this video. I have been water bath canning for years but never tried peaches because I thought they may be too difficult. I canned 14 jars today, which is perfect for just me as an empty nester...with a few for gifts. Thank you for simplifying this for me.
I really enjoyed this video. It's very good to see someone explain everything so clearly as you do Esther. I miss your frequent updates to tell us how things are going at the "little house". With love....Hope you are all doing well. 💕
I remember my mother always canned peaches in a similar way .. it became a tradition to have them along with our homemade pizza. .. there is something about taste of peach sauce and pizza together, I still love it this way even though I now need to purchase them 💕
Hi Esther! thank you for your tutorial. You are lovely and so are your peaches! BTW I love your stove: brings back memories from my childhood in the summer.
Thanks for a very great video to teach those of us who have never done this before. Where I live it is not common for people to can and hard to get good advice about it. Your video has got me on the right track! Rather than just a list of steps you shared your wisdom of the experience. Thanks for explaining why you do things as it makes it all even make more sense and is easier to remember. Appreciate the "joy" comment you made at the end of the video!
I was so glad that I eventually came across this video. Despite countless searches, it is only now that I have found a video that covers warmed peaches in syrup. I generally make peach compote and that is what I wanted to can, your video is essentially that, while all the others that I have watched are as you say, adding 'raw' peaches. I use peach compote for souring cream sauce in savoury options, for sweets or as a dessert in its own right. I also make a syrup with a little lemon juice added, but simmer for quite a bit longer - mainly because the infusion is greater for the liquor, but also because the fragrance throughout the house is stunning! I am very new to canning, my first 'experiment' was with orange segments, after I received 50kg from a crowdfarming project. I am already hooked on the idea of canning, it also saves vital freezer space and is a plus in the event of power outages. I cannot wait for peach season now to try peach canning! I may try one syrup with the skins added, acting as a peach syrup in its own right, but the colour infusion from that would be special. I bought the Ball book, but found that it contains lots of mixes, but less basic practical information - which is more what a newbie needs. Thanks you so much, an inspired Vox!
Loved this tutorial for canning peaches! I have never been fond of canning peaches. . .until I tried your method. Cutting before blanching is the best idea ever! Thank you.
Such a pleasant lady & a joyful experience! Smart, friendly, skillful; a great teacher! Super smile is appreciated in this day & age of too many sourpusses lol! Thank you-very helpful!!
Those look beautifully delicious! I have been subbed to Fouch-o-matic for awhile and am so happy to now be subscribed here, as well. You are my hero! At the age of 44, I'm a little old to be a newbie but that's exactly what I am lol. I've been watching homesteading/gardening videos for over a year now, wanting to take charge of and improve my health for several years, and it's finally time to take the plunge, don't ya think? ;-) I am definitely starting my first garden this year and will be ACTUALLY USING the canners my husband bought me last year. So thank you for sharing your journey and knowledge with us, as I start this new chapter in my life. You are a priceless resource and inspiration for me! Have a blessed day :-)
Thank you so much for your canning instructions. I bought a half bushel from a local farm and froze many of them but your instructions made canning the rest a breeze. My daughter is pregnant and is craving fresh peaches. She will have enough fresh peach flavored peaches for the next year. (she too hates store bought canned peaches)
Homesteading has always been an attractive lifestyle to me and I hope one day to be apst or fully self sustainable. I think canning is an easy way to start and I cant wait to can the case of peaches I picked up today!
I have enjoyed your other videos and watched this one thinking, "well, I'm an experienced canner but I'm sure that I will learn something here--I always do." And lo, we do our peaches almost exactly the same way, from quartered blanching on, except that I do mine in extra light syrup and pints because that is what works for my kitchen and our palates. I tried using straight water when my kids were babies and I didn't want them to have that much sugar and I found that, while they would eat them without complaint, I didn't care for the taste or texture. After some experimentation, I found that a solution that was closer to hypotonic worked much better. Quart jars do make sense for a family (we often open two pints at a time) so perhaps some kitchen layout or outdoor cooking experimentation is in order in our neck of the figurative woods.
I love hearing this! I actually think this is my last year doing the peaches in medium syrup. When your canned peaches are a rare treat it's lovely to have them nice and sweet, but now that I'm able to stock up in these numbers I think a very light syrup is where I'm headed. Thanks for connecting with me on this! It's fun to know what other people do.
Great tutorial. I canned peaches last year and though they looked pretty, they didn't look this beautiful. So glad I found your videos. I will be using your method this year. :)
I was taught how to do it will apples by the Amish when I was younger. I'm sure it's the same. How we did it for apples was take any scrapes (core, skins, bruised parts etc) add to a large stock pot. Cover 1/4-1/2 with water and boil till soft. (About 20 minutes) strain liquid mush through a distended multi layered cheese cloth till it stops dripping naturally (do not squeeze or juice will be cloudy) then process quarts in a water bath canner. toss remaining bits of apple scraps to the chickens or compost in your garden
Great video! Very informative and helpful. This will be my first year canning peaches I'm so excited. Your jars are beautiful y bright and look delicious.
I am going to try my hand at apple sauce for my first canning as I have never watched or done it before as you suggested. Looking forward to trying it :) thank you for this. You are giving me all kinds of confidence!
Our canning season is off and running. Dills are aging and tomatoes were early this year, so they are keeping us busy. Salsa, chili sauce, marinara sauce and of course canned tomatoes. Peaches are on the list as well. Great video, we were planning on pressure cooking them, so thanks for the heads up on that. Cheers!!
Very informative! I have not canned much at all, but want to learn. The explanations about acid levels, hot pack, raw pack and ripeness were especially helpful. I loved you comment about making the harvest a joyful event. Thank you! Gorgeous work.
Love your video, very clear and well presented! Bravo make more - peach jam next? I put up 40 jars of peaches yesterday using your good instruction. Continue your great work!
What a great video. I've tried peaches 🍑 for the first time with no help. And I had no idea what I was doing. Thought I'd never try again . But after this video can't wait to get my hands on some peaches. Thank you for this video
I'm getting ready to pick peaches off of my tree and started watching videos on how others can their peaches. I have always scored my peaches before dropping in the hot water to blanch. But I'm going to try cutting them like you do this year. I think it's a great tip! Thanks!
How lucky to be able to up peaches off the farmer. I grow some on a small tree in my greenhouse in the UK but it's mainly supermarket peaches for me. Love the tip about scoring the peaches I've just done my first batch of peaches a few weeks ago 😊
OMG.. i wish i would have watched this before i canned my peaches this year great tip on how to quarter your peaches.. i'm so going to do that next summer thanks for the wonderful video
Wonderful canning demonstrations in these canning videos! I use a steam canner in place of a water bath canner. I used a water bath canner for years after I learned to can. But in the 1970s I bought an Ideal Steam Canner. This company was only in business for a few years. Nowadays there are many steam canners on the market but none of them nearly as good as the original Ideal Steam Canner. Tests done by a number of state Depts of Agriculture show steam canners are as safe as a water bath canner (Iowa actually concluded it was safer than a water bath canner) because they work pretty much the same way; steam is as hot as boiling water. A steam canner uses a lot less time and fuel since it takes only a very few minutes to bring the water to boiling in the canner. The steam canner is also much easier to lift and move. The Ideal Steam Canner can be found on Ebay if you search for a while; they pop up every so often. I highly recommend one for your homestead. One question: When you can outside, don't you worry about hot jars getting hit by a breeze and breaking? That has happened to me when canning in a regular kitchen when someone suddenly opened a door to the outside.
Hi Esther, I just followed your directions to can peaches that I picked from my backyard. They turned out delicious and beautiful. Thank you for all of your trial-and-error attempts and for posting this tutorial. I plan to do another batch tomorrow and the following day as it takes me a long time to peal those little fleshy fruits, so I'll do it in segments. I must have the kind of peaches that the skins do not come off easily. That's okay, though, because it was still worth the effort. :-)
hey guys , i just watched this video again , wanted a little bit of a refresher before i start my peaches ( for the first time EVER UGHHH !!! wish me luck with that lol ) was just wondering if you'll be doing any more videos , loved them . thanks for the video ! xo
This was my first year canning peaches, I made jam and salsa, then made jelly from the pits and skins (boiled with water then strained). I'm looking forward to having these in the middle of winter this year. I love the quartering tip. Definitely going to try that next year. I did the X on the bottom and found it didn't work as well on some of the peaches.
Hot packed peaches! Very cool. We will have to try this. Thank you for the information. It's so much easier to see the process as it enfolds rather than just reading about it. Thanks Esther...
oh Ester how I wish I would of seen this video before I did up my peaches. Your trick of cutting all around the peach is so so smart! I only scored mine and what a time I had with them. Great video.
These look delicious! Thanks for sharing your way of canning peaches. Looks completely doable. :) I am newer to canning and just finished up some end of season tomatoes from the farmers market this week. Hooray!
Excellent, excellent, excellent tutorial on canning peaches. I can’t wait to try this method, they look beautiful and now is the time to do it before winter. New sub here, thank you for sharing this,And have an awesome day!
Peaches are my favourite so I barely have enough left to make jam. They get eaten very quickly here. I'm going to need several trees when I manage to set up my little homestead. This video has made me very hungry.lol
Im to learn how to can peaches and i have seen many different methods but i must say you make every look easy and clean,im going to do mine like you, Thank you
It's refreshing to see a young person canning correctly.. I mean, peaches not floating all over the place. First you knew what peach, would do well while preserving it. Next, you wasn't afraid to make the right consistency of syrup, for your application.. I'm subscribing. A lot of older people needs to watch your video and learn how to can peaches properly. Peace
hope many check your vids, and see and learn from you , that it is possible to do most things and everything is possible without all the modern stuff and unnecessary stuff that cost a lot, and at the same time you have time with the family and much more you are amasing
Thank you for this wonderful video, I am doing peaches this weekend and I love the tip on cutting the peaches first:). We already did peach butter, we do not use much jam but the butter is great on waffles, ice cream,etc. etc.
We have some type of cling stone peaches growing on our property (2 mature fruiting trees and several immature). In my experience clings can not be blanched which is a shame. I love the taste and look of canned peaches, but between having to cut the pits away from each fruit, and the length of time it takes to peel them, it is by far easier to simply cut and freeze because water bath canning on top of that just adds to the workload. Beautiful job with your peaches, I really enjoyed this episode.
Ophiuchus Oversoul Prep time is the time stealer but so worth it 3, 6, 12, 18 months down the road. 😋 Canning, while labor intensive, is the way to go if you have a lot. Freezer only holds so much. I bet there are a TON of fresh frozen peaches and other fruit about to go to waste down in Carolinas when they lose power for days from the hurricane. If they were canned and jars not broken, even if submerged in water for a few days... good to go!
Love the video!!!!!!!! P.s. Because of your corn video I went to the farm stand and got corn on the cob and canned it. It was so easy!!!! I can't wait to pop open a jar and taste it. Thank you Esther!!!!!!!!!
Hi Ester I want to say a BIG THANK YOU for your you tube videos...I am truly enjoying following you. I have used your peach can recipe I'm a newby canner and am enjoying it. Also loving Thursday story time...I looked for your recipe for jelly using the peach skins and pits...where can I find that...again loving everything you do. thank you again.
Thank you! I haven't done a jelly video yet. Working on one for maybe this weekend. But it's super simple. Boil the skins and pits in enough water to cover, hang in a jelly bag (muslin bag) and let the juice drip out. For clear jelly don't squeeze it. Then make jelly from that juice. If you're new to jelly, just buy a box of commercial pectin and add sugar according to directions on the box. Peaches aren't very high in natural pectin, so if you want to go without commercial pectin you need to add something that is, lemon juice, lemon zest, apple peelings, etc. That's how I do it, but it's a little sketchy if you haven't done it before. I do use the pectin boxes now and then and when I do I prefer the pink box, which is "low sugar." Although it still uses quite a bit of sugar. Good luck!
Wonderful..Ester..I'll be patient and wait till you post your video on this method. I have made jam in past plum and apricot.. I did not use pectin you might want to try this one..for plums I used the little ones we call them the italian ones thers oval wash them cut in half remove pit put in pot some sugar to your taste...simmer till they brake down skins just dissolve I use a potato masher to even brake down more.. I stir so they dont burn when smooth to your liking I leave it with some small chunks in it. Turn your heat off leave it covered when its cool to the touch, turm heat back on bring it to a soft simmer. Must be bubbly. put in clean hot jars.. I use jelly jars.. then I hot water bath 10 mins. Done This is how my 89 year old friend makes her plum and apricot jam.no commercial pectin. Needed...she says theres enough in there skins...this is how her mom did it...cant be wrong shes here to pass recipe along..LoL Again thank you for videos your so informing. And complete. I feel like your a great friend and I enjoy your visit.

Excellent info,thank you
I miss you and your family soooo much. I really enjoyed watching the little house and all it’s ‘comings and going’s’. You ended suddenly and I’ve often thought about you all and I hope you are all growing up in good health. Time has marched on and I had a stroke 3 yrs ago which put pay to all my gardening but I can still knit and crochet. I send love to you all❤️.

home canned peaches have a completely different taste, they taste more "peachy" for the lack of a better term.
Excellent video! Peaches were the very first thing my mother-in-law taught me to can 32 years ago. Even though I can lots of foods, I still have a special spot in my heart for peach season. Sunshine in a jar!
Doing peaches today Esther style! Thanks for sharing , you are such a great teacher! ❤️

I'M A HOME CHEF NOW, BUT HAVE WORKED FOR YEARS IN THE INDUSTRY. WAS LOOKING FOR A GREAT VID, ON PREPPING PEACHES. THIS IS THE ONE. THANKS.
I remember my mother always canned peaches in a similar way .. it became a tradition to have them along with our homemade pizza.

You are a great teacher! Thanks for all your tips!
Your fantastic and your family is so blessed to have you thank you for taking the time to do this
Those jars of peaches are beautiful.
Beautiful job! I love all the useful tips from your experience. Very helpful!
Getting ready to can peaches and I'm so thankful you had a video on this very subject!
Hi Esther! thank you for your tutorial. You are lovely and so are your peaches! BTW I love your stove: brings back memories from my childhood in the summer.
Beautiful video. I love canning. Thank you Esther!
Home preserved peaches are the most beautiful thing in a pantry. Lovely, and you make it look easy.
Im jelly of your outdoor kitchen!
I love home canned peaches, they are a labor of love but soooo worth it! Nothing like them!
You are so incredibly thorough! Absolutely love every video, thank you so much!
Thanks for the video. I love canning peaches. They are always so pretty. Taste of summer.
I love your video. I watch it every year when I do my peaches!

I'm just a little jealous of that wood stove. Sooooooooo awesome to be able to cook outside like that!
I would love to see a video on how you made your peach jelly from the peelings. Great video. I'm canning peaches today!☺🤗🍑🍑
I really appreciated this and learned a lot. You're a very good teacher. Thank you!
Loved this tutorial for canning peaches! I have never been fond of canning peaches. . .until I tried your method. Cutting before blanching is the best idea ever! Thank you.

I want to see you make Jelly from the seeds and peelings....how cool is that!

Maybe show us how to make your peach scraps jelly?
Thank you very much Ester! I canned my first jar of peaches!
Excellent video for beginners like me.Thank you very much!.
hey guys , i just watched this video again , wanted a little bit of a refresher before i start my peaches ( for the first time EVER UGHHH !!! wish me luck with that lol ) was just wondering if you'll be doing any more videos , loved them . thanks for the video ! xo
I love your style of demonstration and explanation. You are such a natural teacher.📝👍 Great video! 😃
thank you so much for this video Esther! I love how much research you do before each video-- you are so incredibly knowledgeable! happy canning!
This was my first year canning peaches, I made jam and salsa, then made jelly from the pits and skins (boiled with water then strained). I'm looking forward to having these in the middle of winter this year. I love the quartering tip. Definitely going to try that next year. I did the X on the bottom and found it didn't work as well on some of the peaches.
absolute best tutorial I've seen! Thank you!
Thank you I've learnt so much xx
beautiful demo !! I have been canning for years and still learned some things from you...thank you for sharing with all of us :)))
Hot packed peaches! Very cool. We will have to try this. Thank you for the information. It's so much easier to see the process as it enfolds rather than just reading about it. Thanks Esther...
Thank you for watching!
oh Ester how I wish I would of seen this video before I did up my peaches. Your trick of cutting all around the peach is so so smart! I only scored mine and what a time I had with them. Great video.
Esther, you make some great videos. I too would like to know how you make the jelly/jam out of the skins ab
nd pits.
Ester, I think your awesome and very informative. Thank you so much for your videos there very motivating keep it coming god bless
I always thought a hot pack would make the peaches mushy, thanks for explaining that!
These look delicious! Thanks for sharing your way of canning peaches. Looks completely doable. :) I am newer to canning and just finished up some end of season tomatoes from the farmers market this week. Hooray!
Excellent, excellent, excellent tutorial on canning peaches. I can’t wait to try this method, they look beautiful and now is the time to do it before winter. New sub here, thank you for sharing this,And have an awesome day!
Peaches are my favourite so I barely have enough left to make jam. They get eaten very quickly here. I'm going to need several trees when I manage to set up my little homestead. This video has made me very hungry.lol
Im to learn how to can peaches and i have seen many different methods but i must say you make every look easy and clean,im going to do mine like you, Thank you
It's refreshing to see a young person canning correctly.. I mean, peaches not floating all over the place. First you knew what peach, would do well while preserving it. Next, you wasn't afraid to make the right consistency of syrup, for your application.. I'm subscribing. A lot of older people needs to watch your video and learn how to can peaches properly. Peace
I love the way you can!
hope many check your vids, and see and learn from you , that it is possible to do most things and everything is possible without all the modern stuff and unnecessary stuff that cost a lot, and at the same time you have time with the family and much more you are amasing
how do you make jelly/jam with your pits and peels?? do you have a video for that?
They are beautiful!!!!
I followed you here from Facebook. I love your other channel, I know I'll love this one too! :)
Beautiful!
Thank you for this wonderful video, I am doing peaches this weekend and I love the tip on cutting the peaches first:). We already did peach butter, we do not use much jam but the butter is great on waffles, ice cream,etc. etc.
We have some type of cling stone peaches growing on our property (2 mature fruiting trees and several immature). In my experience clings can not be blanched which is a shame. I love the taste and look of canned peaches, but between having to cut the pits away from each fruit, and the length of time it takes to peel them, it is by far easier to simply cut and freeze because water bath canning on top of that just adds to the workload. Beautiful job with your peaches, I really enjoyed this episode.

Prep time is the time stealer but so worth it 3, 6, 12, 18 months down the road. 😋
Canning, while labor intensive, is the way to go if you have a lot. Freezer only holds so much. I bet there are a TON of fresh frozen peaches and other fruit about to go to waste down in Carolinas when they lose power for days from the hurricane. If they were canned and jars not broken, even if submerged in water for a few days... good to go!
Yay!!! I adore your canning tutorials! You're a peach, Esther!! xoxox
:) Thank you.
Very informative! And soooo yummy looking!👍🏽
Love the video!!!!!!!! P.s. Because of your corn video I went to the farm stand and got corn on the cob and canned it. It was so easy!!!! I can't wait to pop open a jar and taste it. Thank you Esther!!!!!!!!!
I'm so glad! Thank you.
Hi Ester I want to say a BIG THANK YOU for your you tube videos...I am truly enjoying following you. I have used your peach can recipe I'm a newby canner and am enjoying it. Also loving Thursday story time...I looked for your recipe for jelly using the peach skins and pits...where can I find that...again loving everything you do. thank you again.
Thank you! I haven't done a jelly video yet. Working on one for maybe this weekend. But it's super simple. Boil the skins and pits in enough water to cover, hang in a jelly bag (muslin bag) and let the juice drip out. For clear jelly don't squeeze it. Then make jelly from that juice. If you're new to jelly, just buy a box of commercial pectin and add sugar according to directions on the box. Peaches aren't very high in natural pectin, so if you want to go without commercial pectin you need to add something that is, lemon juice, lemon zest, apple peelings, etc. That's how I do it, but it's a little sketchy if you haven't done it before. I do use the pectin boxes now and then and when I do I prefer the pink box, which is "low sugar." Although it still uses quite a bit of sugar. Good luck!
Wonderful..Ester..I'll be patient and wait till you post your video on this method.
I have made jam in past plum and apricot.. I did not use pectin you might want to try this one..for plums I used the little ones we call them the italian ones thers oval wash them cut in half remove pit put in pot some sugar to your taste...simmer till they brake down skins just dissolve I use a potato masher to even brake down more.. I stir so they dont burn when smooth to your liking I leave it with some small chunks in it. Turn your heat off leave it covered when its cool to the touch, turm heat back on bring it to a soft simmer. Must be bubbly. put in clean hot jars.. I use jelly jars.. then I hot water bath 10 mins. Done
This is how my 89 year old friend makes her plum and apricot jam.no commercial pectin. Needed...she says theres enough in there skins...this is how her mom did it...cant be wrong shes here to pass recipe along..LoL
Again thank you for videos your so informing. And complete. I feel like your a great friend and I enjoy your visit.
love it love love love love it
I just canned peaches myself. Love them!
