Peaches!

As a Christmas gift, a dear friend gave me a jar of her home-made peaches.  Not only did she can them herself, but the peaches came off the tree in her backyard.  Talk about a spectacular gift!  I'd been saving them for a special occassion and finally had no self-restraint left and dug into them the other day.  Amazing!  It took me back to the days when we used to salivate over jars of her Grandma's canned peaches.  You just can't beat home-made!  It officially convinced me that I have to make a trip to the Okanagan during peach season this year, buy a flat of peaches, and talk my friend into teaching me her secret recipe.  Wink, wink...nudge, nudge...there may be some free babysitting in it for you...
