Sunday Randomness #24 Peaches

Busy canning  peaches...

These particular peaches are the variety known as Rosa.  They had red-orange skins, orange-pink flesh, the skins just slipped right off after a 30 second boiling water bath.  They are free-stone and quite sweet.  They were also large (softball sized) peaches and I had to cut most halves into thirds just to get them in the bottles.  The only drawback would be that they tended to bruise easily but their taste makes up for the delicateness of the peach.  We obtained these the first part of September at the Murray Farmer's Market.
