In a Peach Jam


This is what half of a a socially distanced line for peaches looks like. It wound around the parking lot in a giant U. People wore masks and were quite polite. It was weird.


This why these people were willing to wait in a long line in a big parking lot.
Beautiful Georgia peaches.


The peach truck was selling out and had to limit people to two boxes each. Just enough for our needs. We ate them fresh and made this beautiful peach ginger jam.


Canning in 2020 surely broke some kind of records as we all worked to stay busy and productive. By the end of the summer jar lids were nowhere to be found. We felt so lucky to have stocked up pre-pandemic. Still haven't seen lids back on the shelves. Guess when the peach truck comes this year we will have to sacrifice so others can have the limited canning supplies by settling for peach pie and crisp. Sigh. So hard.
