Peaches, canned thus kept more than 12 months without refrigeration.
My wife loves madly canned peaches. But she does not like almost all the brands that are sold in stores. Yes, and they are expensive there, and the bank filled with whole peaches in half.
Not to overpay, I have a couple of years ago he started canning peaches home. The process is very simple. To make the 20-liter cans, it takes me only 3 hours, and most of the time it takes to cleansing peaches from the skin.
