The Graceful Dame
Print7 c. Peaches, Puréed (Approximately 9-12 peaches, depending on their size)
4 1/2 c. Brown Sugar
1 Tbsp. Ground Cinnamon
1 Tbsp. Ground Ginger
1 Tbsp. Vanilla
1 tsp. Salt
Jars. 4 oz jars (holds 1/2 cup), about 14-15 jars. or 8 oz. jars (holds 1 cup), about 7 or 16 oz. jars (holds 2 cups), about 3-4
I 100% recommend using small jars (the 4 or 8 oz size) for this, unless you have a large family or plan to serve it at large gatherings.
Be sure the jars are free of chips in the rims or cracks of any kind.
Also, I highly recommend using quality jars such as "Ball" or "Kerr" jars intended for home canning, as they have less issues with proper sealing.
Jar lids and canning rings
Canning funnel (for filling the jars)
A measuring cup or ladle (for filling the jars)
A jar lifter (Absolutely a must have! Remember, you'll be lifting jars out of boiling water! Do it safely and securely.)
Water bath canner
A moist, clean kitchen washcloth (for wiping the jar rims)
As the jars being to cool, you should begin to hear happy "ping" sounds as your jars begin to seal. That sound is going to bring you such the much-deserved sense of satisfaction at a job well done!
Now, let the sealed jars sit for about 24 hours. Then, carefully remove the canning rings. Label and date the jars, then store them in your pantry or on your canning shelves to enjoy all year long!
Note: Try to consume the canned peach butter within a year to ensure quality.
