   If you had one of those for your only meat over 4 months .. That's what   
   put me off of bologna.

   You, no doubt have more patience as well as a more 'delicate' touch than my   
   "ham handed" approach.

   Theonly canning of peaches I have done - or even helped with - is what my   
   grandmother called "pickled peaches" They have an entirely different flavor   
   profile from straight-up canned peaches.

         Title: Mimi's Pickled Peaches   
    Categories: Fruits, Spices, Preserving   
         Yield: 6 Pints   
       
         4 lb Medium Clingstone peaches   
         4 c  Granulated sugar   
         1 c  White vinegar   
         1 c  Tap water   
         6    (3") cinnamon sticks   
              Handful whole cloves; stems   
              - on   
         2 ts Pickling spices   
       
     THE NIGHT BEFORE Blanch and peel peaches, but leave them   
     whole. Place in a large glass bowl and pour the sugar   
     over them. Gently mix with hands until sugar covers all   
     the peaches. Cover with a clean cloth and let them set   
     overnight.   
        
     Sterilize 6 pint mason jars, lids and rings, and set   
     aside.   
        
     THE NEXT MORNING Drain the peaches, pouring the liquid   
     into a heavy large saucepan or dutch oven. Place the   
     peaches back in the bowl and set aside.   
        
     Add the vinegar, water and spices to the syrup in the   
     pan, and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes.   
        
     While syrup is boiling, press one or two cloves into   
     each peach. After syrup has boiled for 5 minutes, add   
     the peaches to it and continue boiling for 20 minutes or   
     until peaches are tender.   
        
     WARNING: BE CAREFUL DURING THE NEXT STEPS - YOU WILL BE   
     HANDLING VERY HOT FOOD.   
        
     Using a slotted spoon, place peaches into sterile jars.   
     Fit them snugly into the jars, but do not force them or   
     they will bruise.   
        
     Place one cinnamon stick into each jar. Ladle the liquid   
     into each jar until it is 1/2" from the rim. It is   
     important to leave this "breathing" space.   
        
     With a dry clean cloth, wipe the rim and the jar clean.   
     Seal with lids and rings.   
        
     Process in a hot water bath for 10 minutes to seal.   
        
     Remove from water and set aside to cool. These can be   
     stored in the pantry when still sealed. However, once   
     you have opened a jar, store in the ice box.
