I believe the Imperial Death March lyrics should be...."Bah bah bah please don't let me drop this jar...Oh my gosh this is really, really hot...Please, please seal for me won't you please?"

With local, Indiana peaches we made honey peach preserve. Now on to my tomato sauce since it's tomato season right now! Thanks for being an inspiration! @Anais, Just want to share the first try at canning preserves went amazing! With local, Indiana peaches we made honey peach preserve.

But best of all webstream the Prayer Room from ihop.org the absolute end all.

They are no longer performing together but I used to be a bit of a groupie, travelling all over New England to see them when they came to the US (from Scotland). The fiddle payer Johnnie Cunningham died a few years ago, but his brother Phil Cunningham is still performing with Shetland fiddler Aly McBain (saw them a couple years ago) and the lead vocalist Andy M. Stewart is still performing as well.I do like newer, younger groups, but listening to Silly Wizard reminds me of such good times in addition to being wonderful music! :) @Anais, I'm probably showing my age here but my first love and still favorite is Silly Wizard, one of the seminal contempory Celtic bands back in the 70's-90's.

You just slice them and heat and then pack in juice you make from simmering the peels. Then strain the peels and you can add a bit of sugar if you want. Pour over the hot slices and process. You can can plain or with a bit of spice and you have a wonderful hot winter breakfast that tastes like apple pie but without any guilt. I also love canned pear halves with a bit of ginger for a nice winter breakfast or a warm desert. Peaches with a bit of lemon juice, vanilla and just a touch of nutmeg is nice too. @Ginger, Ginger have you tried canned apple slices for the winter?
