Peaches in Vanilla Syrup
Makes about 10 pint jars or 4 quart jars
1 teaspoon ascorbic acid mix, or 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar
8 pounds peaches, freestone preferably because your life will be easier : )
4 cups sugar (This seemed like a lot to me, so I cut it down to 3 cups)
2 vanilla beans, split, each piece cut into inch-size pieces
Prepare the peaches…
Fill a large bowl with cold water and stir in the ascorbic acid mix/lemon/vinegar.
Blackberries
Blackberries I prefer to raw pack. Take whole,stemmed,cleaned blackberries and fill into hot mason jars. Ladle a light sugar syrup (3 cups of water to every cup of sugar) into each jar, leaving a ½-inch headspace. Wipe off the top of each jar, and seal with a lid and ring. Place jars into a boiling water bathcanner and process pints and quarts for 15 min. When processing is over, remove hot jars, place on a padded surface, and wait for them to seal overnight. Clean and store in cool dark place.
