Several weeks ago, we jumped onto the "Texas Band Wagon" and ventured out to pick our own peaches. About an hour or so out side of San Antonio is a little town called Fredericksburg. Such a neat little town to poke around in the shops, sample the amazing fudge and have a really good lunch at a local diner. Anyway, this quite little town is also know for it's Peach Orchards. Not sure what we were getting into, we headed out for a morning drive and peach picking.
Rows and Rows of peach tree's.. and one huge box to fill. It took us about an hour to pick and fill our box with about 25 pounds of peaches.
Hunter along for the ride, what a little trooper he was. It was super hot that morning, and not much a breeze
A photo of our prize winning peaches !!!!!! The whole purpose of our trip was to get the peaches and can them. It was a little scary, at first by several phone calls to my Mom for directions and WaLa..... we successfully canned 25 pounds of peaches !!!! We still haven't tried them, so hopefully they taste as good as they did fresh. WOW ~ it was a lot harder, and time consuming than I ever thought it was going to be. So only the future will tell, if we do this again.
