How can I preserve seasonal produce effectively?

You can preserve seasonal produce by canning, freezing, drying, or pickling. What specific produce are you looking to preserve?

I'm interested in preserving tomatoes and peaches.

For tomatoes, you can can them or make sauces. For peaches, freezing or making preserves works well. Would you like detailed recipes?

Yes, please provide a recipe for canning tomatoes.

To can tomatoes, start by washing and cutting them. Boil them for 5 minutes, then pack into sterilized jars, add lemon juice, seal, and process in a water bath for 40-45 minutes. Let me know if you need more details!

What about freezing peaches?

To freeze peaches, peel and slice them, then blanch in boiling water for 30 seconds. Cool in ice water, drain, and pack in freezer bags. They’ll last up to a year!
