The other reason fall is officially here, Hood River, peaches, pears and jams. We put up some peaches, not much because the peaches themselves were just going over, and better for jam than anything else, but 6 quarts of Lady Elbertas' are just enough. We had a case of white peaches also, which turned into this lovely pink jam, as you can see from the pic. Now today I have to do the pears, they are perfectly ripe and tomorrow will be spoiling. I gathered elderberries for jam, but it turned out to be syrup, which is good too, I love fruit syrups on waffles and french toast.
