Fruit: Home Canned Peaches (Hot Packed with Fruit Fresh Mixed)

2018/08/05: Canning Peaches is a great way to have fresh fruit all year round. In the past we always canned the Peaches in a Light-Medium Syrup (...Water to Sugar Ratio Here), but this year we tried a different route in order to more accurately take nutritional content: Hot Packing.

     

Sauces: Maple Syrup

2018/08/20: Sweet on Pancakes, French Toast or Breakfast Sausage. Good in coffee, some tea or even some cocoa on a cold day. Syrup is a delicious topping for a decadent breakfast, etc., but tracking the nutritional content can be difficult.
