I feel like a southern woman! I got my mother to share her peach preserves recipe with me and I FINALLY learned how to can and make preserves!

Ok ok, let’s start from the beginning…

A few weekends ago, my mother was here and I had lots of freshly picked Georgia peaches that I had picked up from the farm.

They were so ripe and sweet that I knew I couldn’t eat them all before they spoiled. SOOOO…I talked my mother into showing me how she makes preserves. Specifically, I got her to show me how to make her peach preserves recipe.

What I really loved about this Peach Preserves Recipe is that it can be adapted to make so many other varieties of preserves: Fig, Strawberry, plum, pear…I could go on…

But anyway, the recipe is so easy that I decided that I had to share! So just in case YOU wanted to learn how to make peach preserves, I have included my mom’s recipe ( with her permission of course) below.

Pin this post and Save it for later!
