Too long!

A here,

I'm going to make an effort to try and post at least 4 times per week. So here we go :)

Lots and lots of stuff happening this week. My Mr. Wonderful is hunting this week in the back country so I get to play single mom to my 3 beautiful, wonderful little girls. My oldest is turning 4 on Sunday. She is in pre-school this year so I get to send her to school with snacks on Thursday :) I've been looking forward to these little moments since she was born. I will post about the snack later this week...

On to this post!! I bought 22 pounds of peaches and 48 ears of corn so naturally my posts will be about preserving them. Since this topic is my hobby and passion that is what you get ;)

 Look at this pure deliciousness! I took one look and thought fresh peach ice cream was the first thing I was going to make. I didn't make a dent but I did get to use 4 perfect peaches

 Here are the ingredients I used for the ice cream. Whole milk, sugar, vanilla and 4 peaches. I would love to give you exact measurements but I make ice cream so much that I dump what I think looks like a good amount into a bowl and stir it all together. A little of this, a cap full of that. I can tell you that I put the peaches in my Magic Bullet...I let it go a little longer than I should have and didn't end up with any pieces of peach. I wish I would have used a 5th and chopped it up and added it to the cream mixture

 I poured everything into my ice cream maker and let it do it's thing.

The picture makes it look like scrambled eggs! I let it go a little longer than I usually do so it wasn't creamy when I transferred it to a bowl.

This was a total success and it tastes wonderful. The right amount of summertime in my freezer :)

With the other 21 pounds I did what I do best, canned them! (15 pints)

I used the same method I did with the tomatoes. I made a very light syrup (4 Cups of water and 1 2/3 Cups sugar brought to a boil) so when I use them this winter they will be nice and sweet. 

Until next time,

xoxo
