What are you canning now?

I just made Tropical Sunset Preserves, Yummmmmmmmm!

4 Cups of Puree's Pineapple
1 1/2 cups chopped peaches
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
1/4 c. sliced maraschino cherries
1 pkg Pectin
5 1/2 cups sugar

Combine Pineapple, Peaches, Lemon and Cook until soft, about 4-5 minutes on medium. Add pectin and bring to a rolling boil (add 1 tab of butter to reduce frothing). Add maraschino cherries now and then add sugar. Bring back to a boil for 1-2 minutes. Ladle into hot, sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Adjust lids and process in boiling water bath 10 minutes.

This was my canning for today, I made Spiced Peach Jam using a recipe from my vintage Southern Living canning & preserving cookbook (love that thing

). This jam has really good flavor and I'm thinking of using it as more of a topping for crepes, pancakes and even cakes.
