It has been hot here, so I have not been doing outside work. The temp has been nearly 90 for a few days. Today I baked two peach pies (from fresh peaches from a local grower). G even commented on how great the flavor was. I also made 15 half pint jars of freezer peach jam.
My other project has been to edit drawers in the filing cabinet. G asked me how I decided what to keep. I told him that if I can find the info on line I toss the paper. But if it is a card or letter from him or my children I save it. I would guess one half is being tossed. Sure makes me feel good. But this is only the first drawer. There are seven more to go. I think I started on the most difficult one so this is progress. I would be thrilled if I could actually remove one filing cabinet from my office. We'll see if that is possible.

What is freezer peach jam?
You should end up with one filing cabinet if you can throw at the current rate. I find the problem with sorting is that I start to read the contents which slows me down and then I find it hard to part with memories. I would need a lot of self discipline for such a task.
Gill,
There is a recipe in the Sure-Jell fruit pectin for freezing the jam instead of cooking it. After crushing the fruit, adding sugar, you cook a bit of water with the pectin and stir it into the fruit. Then put in a jar and freeze. So easy to make and tastes really fresh.
omg - I also want to clear out my filing cabinet! We are int'l file cabinet cleaning buddies!
7 drawers!!!! I love the idea of freezer jam. does it require the same sterilization as regular? how long does it keep after defrosting?
