Peaches

For about two years now I have wanted to try jarring peaches.  So this year I decided I would try a small trial run.  I bought 6 litres of peaches and it yielded 3 small jars.  I was a little disappointed with all the peeling I did for such a small amount of finalized jarred peaches.  I think I had really small peaches so I will look for larger ones next time.  However, the jars all sealed properly so we shall see how they taste when they cool.
I got the recipe from our friend Shawn (THANKS!) and it was super easy.  It said to use 2 cups of sugar, 4-6 cups of water of which I split the difference and used 5 cups and then add 2 pounds of fruit or about 6 peaches.
I put the extra juice in two jars and they sealed also.  (Does anyone know what I could do with this)?
