Preserving Peaches Dino-style

Peach preserves are fantastic. This is an excellent and simple recipe (based on a recipe from Natasha's Kitchen), and even better when made with the help of dinosaurs.

10 pounds (approximate) of peaches, peeled and chopped

4 cups sugar

4 tbsp lemon juice or juice from 1 lemon

Put the peaches, peeled and chopped, in a pot. Don't let the dinosaurs eat too many of the peaches. Use the freshest and ripest peaches for best-tasting results.

It's best to chop the peaches yourself. Dinos are not very delicate when it comes to processing produce. Sometimes they just make a mess.

"Ooops."

Add the lemon juice. If you use a Kronosaurus for lemon squeezing, you will get the best results.

Add the sugar. Dinosaurs are very helpful in all aspects of baking.

Stir in the sugar with the peaches with the help of a T-rex for best results.

The dinosaurs will pretty much take care of the whole process.

Let the sugared peaches sit for a bit. Bring to a boil. Let them cool. Repeat boiling and cooling 5 or 6 times until the peaches turn into a tasty pot of peach preserves. This could take an afternoon or several days. Just boil it when you have a chance.

If canning the peaches, fill sterilized jars leaving a headspace. Follow good canning practices! Dinos will help.

If you let them, they will fasten jar lids in place.

The dinosaurs will be very proud!

Process peaches for 5-10 minutes in hot water bath and enjoy your peach preserves with your dinosaurs all season long.
