My nephew has written a book on canning as he use to can just about everything when my mother and sister were living. He also makes jelly and jams for several orchards. For years they never used the fallen peaches and now he makes jam or preserves from them and it sells well.
My wife's and my parents canned everything as you didn't go the store like we do now. It wasn't unusual for them to can 250 quarts of tomatoes and peaches. Some were canned in 2 quart jars. Green and lima beans were canned too. WE also grew a lot of cabbage, sweet potatoes & Irish potatoes. Sweet corn was another item that was canned.
My wife use to can a lot of tomatoes and peaches, but doesn't any more. She froze a lot of veggies too. She just sold all her quart jars. She has some blue quart jars that were her grandmother's and are probably worth a lot of money. They were probably made back in the late 1800's. She probably had 250 quart jars and 250 pint jars that she will sell next Spring. Hal
