Have been making preserves from our pear crop. We have lots of pears so I did some research on other options like simple canning.
Found this interesting website that is a wealth of information on preserves, jelly, canning & cooking. Thought if you had not seen it, you might also want to look at it.

Thanks for the link. I will be looking at it later this week when I have plenty of time for reviewing it.
We have some vine peaches which are native melons, kinda bland with a slight lemony flavor. I have found a few recipes for them, but always looking for more. These are the only melons which seem to grow well here, and they are coming up voluntary in several spots.
So I used a bread and butter type pickle recipe, added some red hots, and made a pint of pickled vine peach cubes. I’ll see in the morning if it’s a hit or not.LOL
