Peaches for canning and freezing use many steps
Good peach harvest invites home makers to can or freeze using Dominion Department varieties or Rochester Elberta and Golden Jubilee for canning and Elberta J H Hale Candoria for freezing. Methods include cold and hot pack canning with specific processing times. Peaches require blanching to loosen skins, quick brine dipping, halving or quartering, and syrup packing. For freezing, add lemon juice to prevent darkening, maintain headspace, and store promptly in lockers or refrigerators.
