The amount of home canning that I do seems to mystify many. It's funny that one question that always pops up is "How do you use it". Using home canned foods is no different than using store bought, commercially canned foods other than you have a larger variety to choose from. For example, I canned spirited peaches last year. I have to admit that I don't can many products containing alcohol simply because I prefer product I can serve to everyone including our grandkids. Of the foods I can numbering between 1,200 and 1,400 jars annually, there are only three products that contain alcohol. These are specialty products of which I can understand the question as to how to use the product.
Peach delight is very easy to make. I used one sheet of store bought butter puff pastry but homemade puff pastry can be used. I cut the puff pastry into six squares then placed the squares in muffin tins and baked at 375ºF until golden brown. I placed three or four slices of peaches over each pastry shell then topped with fresh whipped cream.
Fresh whipped cream is a true culinary delight and ever so easy to make. I use 35% heavy whipping cream in the food processor but a blender or egg beaters can be used. The trick is to not over beat otherwise the fats will separate giving you butter and buttermilk. We prefer the whipped cream unsweetened with just a light splash of vanilla to highlight the buttery smoothness.

Thanks for posting this. Seems easy enough to try to prepare it myself. :)
