Canned – Spiced Honey Vanilla Peaches!

Spiced Honey Vanilla Peaches

 

I am a sucker for peaches! Recently I found two bushels of peaches at my front door. My Uncle has a Peach Tree in his back yard and this year he had an abundance of peaches that he decided to share with me. I was thrilled!

As I was debating what I was going to can with this years peach crop I decided upon Spiced Honey Vanilla Peaches. I had never canned these before but they sounded amazing and I knew that I had to give them a try!

Oh my goodness these peaches are amazing! I ended up canning 16 jars of them about a month ago and I only have 6 left! My family can’t get enough! Next year I will make sure to can many MANY more jars! Yum!

 

** Please remember canning can be dangerous. If you have never done this before then please read up on the importance of canning properly. Botulism  is a very serious illness!

  1. What a delightful treat! I pinned this onto my Pinterest board. I g have never tried anything like this. and it looks so fresh & delicious.

  2. These sound wonderful. I think I’m going to have try these. My family is going to love these and they sound so simple to make.

  3. these sound very good I will give this a try with my next batch of peaches that I am finishing this weekend

  4. Yumm! These sound so good! My parents did a lot of canning, but I have never tried myself. If I ever do…these will be at the top of my list!

  5. These sound awesome even though there’s a lot of sugar in them. I’d make them with a lot less sugar and allow the liquid to continue to cook until thickened so it gets the sweetness from the reduced syrup.

  6. I love peaches! I am going to make these today with peaches from my tree. BUT how do you eat them? Over ice cream, straight out of the jar( my first thought they look amazing). Thanks
