I just canned 8 pints of pears, last week I did 10 pints of peaches. The pears came out just right! I followed the recipe in the BBB for pears in unsweetened apple juice with a cinnamon stick. I am so excited. I have firm peaches in the fridge to hold for canning in a week. The peaches I canned last week I thought leaked water but I turned them upside down to see better and they didn't. I showed them to an experienced canner and she said the peaches were fine. Boy do they taste good!

Thanks all for your helpful posts, I have learned alot! Now I know how to put up pickled beets, peaches and pears. Next is tomatoes!! The list is grooooowinggggg.....

Yeah, I am hooked! :)
