Conserving and Preserving Homegrown Peaches and Plums
A short crop in peaches promises high prices if available. Plums are plentiful, so conserve winter ration points by preserving both fruits. Freezing best preserves sweetness. Wash and scald peaches, trim bruises, and pack in cartons with a sugar syrup. Use paper strips to prevent floating and browning. Serve while ice crystals remain.
