I can just feel the naturally fuzzy outside of the orchard-picked peaches in that first picture. Have fun canning! Oh, the joy of peach picking!

Would anyone happen to know the cultivar name of those trees? 'Monroe' perhaps? A tree is known by its fruit. Don't expect to be able to raise the same fruit without the same tree.

It's been part of human life since the very beginning. Dad was just telling us this morning to be sure to record the things we learn from Scripture. These jems are even more precious than the food we depend on, and to forget them is like letting a harvest go to waste. It takes some careful work though, doesn't it, to record our insights in a way that they will be there when we need them later. And I am glad that God put an element of delight and fun into the important things we must do. There’s something special about harvesting fruit, and preserving the harvest, isn’t there?

And I can sure remember those memorable afternoons making applesauce with Mommom. Mom has emphasized often how much she learned from her parents through simply quietly watching and be ready to help. Thank you for the reminder Jennifer! Praise the Lord for the Godly legacies passed down, and may we be ready to pass them down to future generations.

Thanks for sharing this old-time family recipe. You are so right, Jenny, we need to take the time to glean from the priceless wealth of knowledge of those who have gone before us. One time a good while ago we went peach picking as a family. I remember sinking my teeth into a tender, juicy, luscious peach and making up my mind right then and there that peach picking even topped apple picking! Mmmmm!
