Whether she was Mrs Figley or Lilah Figily I am not certain, but this lady had a variety of recipes she shared with our housewife. This page not only has the peaches, but also the instructions to can beans. I have to admit, the cooking part does not intimidate me, it is the canning process that I know nothing about, and so that is something I will have to read up on. Maybe I will try the peaches or the beans.
