A Summer Delight: Fredericksburg Peaches (and some blackberries!)

Around these parts, it's not summer without some amazing Fredericksburg peaches. After being spoiled by Georgia peaches, we knew we also had to can some Texas peaches to enjoy throughout the year. For the first time, we ventured to a you-pick farm just outside Fredericksburg and harvested two great varieties: Red Globe (the best!) and Majestic. We were also fortunate to sneak in before the end of the blackberry season so we could secure some fruit for our wonderful blackberry and lavender jam.

Caught red-handed

Two half-bushels of fruit equals about 160 peaches!
