It’s definitely quite sweet. Crud, you are right about the yield, between the syrup and the jam I forgot to change it from the original recipe. I’m sorry about that. I got just shy of 3 pints.

I made this this weekend but only got 2.5 pints (5 half pints). It also seemed quite sweet. We haven’t tried it yet since I got exactly 5 half pints and I processed them all, but we’re looking forward to it..

This reminds me of a slightly unrelated topic…I have had a really good pie at a restaurant out here that’s a fresh peach pie. I’m not sure if there are any cooked peaches at all. It’s so good! If you want to offer any other peach recipes, this would be my vote. We had it at Marie Callendars’ restaurant.

I made blueberry syrup in a very similar way, but didn’t can them since I’ve never done that and don’t know how. It was really good syrup though.

Oh, I never thought about reusing the lids for other purposes. I feel a bit sheepish that I’ve been tossing them, even though I use mason jars for storage all the time. Oops!

I think this would work for plums, blueberries (skip the peeling), and strawberries.

OOH, That sounds good. No peaches in my neck of the woods though or not cheap enough to buy yet.

May have to keep my eye out for cheap peaches… I love pancakes!

This sounds really good – have you tried it with other fruits? Or, with frozen fruits? I”ve got a ton of fruit in my freezer that I need to make jam or something with, soon! (As in, before more fruit comes in – i was supposed to use it during the winter, but my freezer is still full. Bad, bad, ThatBobbieGirl
