Today I am blanching 50 peaches. Aldi's had them on sale this week for 19 cents each. Krogers had them last week for 89 cents a lb. so far I have made 9 pints of peach jam, blanching peaches this morning to make more jam tomorrow morning before heading out to do chores.
I will make more jam tomorrow and what is left will be made into canned peaches to enjoy this winter. Peach peels will be cooked down and the juice will make popsicles with.
I figured out my cost including canning lids, sugar, peaches and pectin (jars are recyclable) $1.79 per pint of jam. That's darn good savings.

Product Review
Just bought these today..
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Safe-Silicone-Ice-Pop-Makers-Popsicle-Molds-Freezer-Ice-Cream-Maker-Mold-/291517297171?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368
It says that the lids seal tightly. You are to fill them with juice, pop, etc. and freeze. I filled with peace juice that I made from skin peels, sugar and pectin and poured in the mold, turn upside down and the weight of the liquid popped that lid right off. Bought at Family Dollar for $5 for a set of six. No problem though.. I thought the design wasn't right so I just got out a sturdy thermal cup repoured and set them down inside the cup problem solved. The brand I bought is Handy Gourmet. It would have been better if they had designed it with a cup holder type thing and used the way I did but still it'll be a fun treat for us to use and I will buy more for my family for gifts.
