~Peach Freezer Jam~

This is the week - August 3- 9!  Tom Vilsack, our U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary, has declared this week National Farmers Market Week!

If there is a Farmers Market near you, plan to stop in this week & purchase fresh fruits & vegetables that are available.  This Thursday when I stop in to our local Farmers Market, Peaches will definitely be one of my purchases.  They are locally grown.  They are sweet & juicy.  The local Peaches are a delicious snack & they also make very tasty Peach Freezer Jam!

Peach Freezer Jam is the last variety that I make every summer.  I have the Certo, Sugar, Lemon Juice & containers.  For over 30 years I've prepared Freezer Jams, but every time I always reread the directions located in the Certo package along with own my helpful hints.  Each batch is prepared separately. 

One of my helpful hints is:
To remove Peach skin- place the Peach in simmering water for about 35 seconds.  Remove, cool.  Skin peels with no waste.

Fresh Green Beans, Beets, Eggplants & Zucchini are also on my list when I stop in to our Farmers Market tomorrow!

Locally grown fresh fruits & vegetables are so good!  Next week stop in to a Farmers Market, again.  It's a great habit!

Enjoy!
Yummy!
