Hot pack and cold pack, that is.
After running a few errands this morning, one of which was to buy more lids, I made a second batch of peach jam. I then set to work on putting up the rest of the peaches in syrup. First I made 4 quarts of cold pack peaches. Then I made a second batch of syrup and started working on the rest of the half-bushel while those processed in the canner. Because I was done long before the canner was, I put all the peach slices in the hot syrup so, when it came time to put them in jars, they were a little smaller and fit into 3 quarts. So, that's it for the half-bushel. 14 cups of jam and 7 quarts of sliced peaches in syrup.
I owe my kids a pie. I'll buy more peaches next week (not by the half-bushel, though), and make one.
