100 Pounds of Peaches!!!

We just got 100 Pounds of peaches, and we are ready to get them turned into preserves, peach butter, and wine! Here we are getting the peaches ready, and I do have a question that arises in this video. If you have an answer I would appreciate it. I am pretty sure I know the answer, but I am learning, and I do not like assuming. Enjoy!

Thank you so much for watching.

No absolutely not. That is the quickest way to ruin wine is by introducing any foreign bacteria. You can get it up to almost boiling and then it be ok. I would do that anyway. heat it up to kill any bacteria and then put in yeast. Wine yeast would be great if you have it.

People 100 years ago would use yeast from their bread making...their kitchen starter. Or they would grow yeast from other fruits and use that.

Great video!

Thank you Zach. We ended up feeding the really bad stuff to the chickens. I decided, all the work, it is not worth it. I will still almost boil the peaches I do use, only because there is a good chance it has bacteria in it anyway. I do have another video coming out, and I ask you, in the video, if you can name that pepper, because I sure cannot. Thanks for your comment, and have a great day.

Chickens are handy for that. Yummy! :)

Chickens are excellent. One of my favorite animals. They are some of the best producers of soil on the planet, taking anything you don't want and turning it into rich soil, eggs and meat. If I could milk a chicken I would need no other animal.

It is a peach pit that has sprouted, while in the peach and I am cutting it out.

Millions of peaches... peaches for me.

Millions of peaches, peaches for free
Look Out!!!

That's why I moved to the country, so I could eat me a lot of peaches...and put them in a can.

Oh my goodness. What a fun time. I'm so hungry just thinking of all that peach deliciousness.

Cool share! :)

It was fun. We love our fresh fruit and our preserves. These are great. I have a video I just did about the cows we manage and the plums we got the next day. We are going out tomorrow for more. We should have about 50-60 pounds of plums that taste like pure sugar.

Not much fruit or garden down here this year. First it was too wet then it was too hot. Messed everybody up. Your doing great! Hang in there

I am a bit surprised at some of the crops we have gotten here this year in the surrounding areas. Our cherries did not do well here on our property and what did ripen the birds ate. Across the valley we picked a few gallons of wonderful black cherries. We were very wet all winter and this spring was cold and wet until mid June. We too have had no real rain since June. Over 70 days with no rain here in northcentral Idaho. Where abouts are you?

a hunert pounds?
you got ten or twenty peaches?
oh..wait...you don't live in texas huh?

I was born and raised in Southeast Texas. Spent 31 years there. My great uncle had a peach farm in northeast Texas for decades, and they were great peaches, but I have never had peaches like this farm here produces.

that was a joke..
southeast...near orange?

Born and raised in Baytown, and then I transferred to Lamar University where I met my wife, who was from that area. We lived in the Beaumont/Lumberton area for 8 years before moving here. Everybody here ask me all the time if everything is really bigger in Texas...I just tell them the important things are!!! LOL

everything IS bigger in Texas.
I'm from the Llano Estacado myself.

BIG sky country...and wind...oh yeah..the wind...

I have had some good wine from Llano Estacado region. One of the them had a hot pepper taste. I loved it.

Wow. That is one heck of a lot of peaches!
I am not surprised you got so many though at that price. I love peaches but here in the uk you would buy a punnet of four peaches for the equivalent of around $5

I hope you get to use up most of the peaches and that not too much goes to waste.

Those are some expensive peaches, although I would say, to buy these peaches in really good shape at the supermarket here, it would cost between $3-5 for 4 peaches. It is sad how much agricultural waste we have here in the states, because of either regulations or market desires.

Ah man, I'm super jealous that you have such easy access to so many peaches. We only have two trees and we've harvested them already, so no more for the year. My mouth was watering watching your video... I want a peach so bad!

We are very blessed in our locale. We have access to lots of fruit trees, both wild and cultivated, as well as berries...lots and lots of both varieties and number of plants.

This mould on the peaches is not what you want in your wine. Boil you juice to kill off any bad bacteria, then you should be to go. Peach wine is really delicious. Just keep everything really clean and you'll do fine. Good video.
Upvoted, following and resteemed.

Thank you. I am going to do just that. Today I got 30+ pounds of wild plums and a few cultivated ones too. These are tiny but pure sugar. I'll be posting that video later on today or tomorrow. Thank you for watching and resteeming and following.

You're welcome. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your posts.
