The Colorado Elbertas crop is short this year, with peaches plentiful for home canning but higher prices likely. Other good canning varieties include Bun Gold Polly and Hale, while avoid mealy or bruised fruit.

Headspace management prevents fruit browning during freezing. Peel and halve peaches then scald to slip skins. Dip in salted vinegar solution to prevent darkening, then soak in sugar to draw out juice. Pack hot or raw, cover with juice or syrup, seal and process 20 minutes in boiling water.
