    Saturday's task was to care for the peaches. And a Saturday's task was to care for the peaches. And after finding homes for three  of the five-gallon buckets, I had a trug full that I wanted to turn into jam. So this year, I grabbed the Cognac and made what turned into many jars of jam!

And, the tree - this generous, strong and beautiful tree that lives here at @lepapillongarden , has found her name - Ms. Lottie. 

Find the recipe for my peach jam, use any liqueur you desire (rum is in the original recipe) on @thesimplyluxuriouslife blog under Cooking Show, then click Recipes in the drop-down or simply search Peach Jam and it will pop up!
