Canning Peaches with Agave Nectar Fruit (You will need about 5 good sizes peaches to fill one quart jar) Jar grabber (to pick up the hot jars), Jar funnel, lid magnet. You can usually find a packaged deal of this equipment at your local grocery stores, Wal-mart, K-mart, etc. At least 1 large pot Large spoons and ladles Canning Jars (quart jars including the lids and rings) I prefer the Wide Mouth jars. Agave
Nectar (1 ½ Cups
of Agave Nectar for every 6 Cups of
Water) 1
Water Bath Canner Step
1 Wash
your Jars and Lids in your dishwasher or boil them for about 10 minutes
to sterilize. Step
2
Wash your peaches. Step
3
Peel your peaches. Follow the blanching technique from the video above.
It works great! Step
4
Cut your peaches. Remove any brown spots. If I’m filling a lot
of jars, I’ll just cut he peaches in half. After cutting the peaches,
you’ll want to place them in cold water with a Tablespoon of lemon
juice to stop them from turning brown from the air. Step
5
Pack your peaches into your canning jars. Leave about 1” space
from the top of the jar. After packing them in, pour in your Agave Nectar
water solution leaving ½” from the top. Wipe
the rim of the jar with a damp cloth for a good clean seal. Tighten
the lid firmly. Step
6
Place the jars in your water bath. Normally, you will have 1”
of water from the top of the lid boiling in the bottom of your
water bath. Boil your peaches for about 30-35 minutes. Below is the
USDA recommendations for canning peaches.
Step
7
Remove the jars and allow them to cool. I usually lay a few towels across
my counter top and place the jars on them to cool. If the lids have
sucked down, you have a good seal. If the lid has popped up, you can
remove the lid and try a different one (just repeat the process)…
or you can put your peaches in the refrigerator and eat them in the
morning! Step 8 Store your peaches for a year (possibly longer) in a cool dark place usually in a basement if you have on. They will taste GREAT!
