the light is shifting from the skies, the mornings are wrapped in a chill, the shift is upon us. the warmth of summer slowly slips into fall. do you feel it?

succulent peaches are a sigil of summer. the pinnacle of the suns energy, juicy and filled with sweetness. one of our local growers has peach trees that can withstand the midwest winters + when they are in season they are griffin’s favorites. i love to put up peaches in this way, honeyed and spiced, and perfect to pull from the pantry on a winter’s day to top oatmeal, dutch pancakes or to eat straight out of the jar.

this is not hyperbole, this is my favorite recipe yet as a ball® canning ambassador. unsweetened, cinnamon spiced pears.
