It happened again. Last weekend, I ended up with lots of head space in
the brandied peaches, even though they were to 1/8 inch.

This weekend, I was ambushed by a 99c peach sale. So after mushing some
to make leather in the cheap dehydrator that leaped off the shelf and
into my cart at wally-world, I canned most of the rest.

The jars were probably overfull. i cut them into about sixths, figuring
more would fit (all that wasted space as they shrink!). In a
brain-glitch, I filled them to within about 1/8".

I pulled them when time was up (35 min; high altitude), and some showed
their gratitude by oozing onto the counter within seconds.

The syrup is as far as 4" from the lids!
