quart jar calculations : 8 cups = 1 quart; 7 cups to allow for head room

5 cups (~2.5 lbs) peaches
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup clear jel (1.5 lbs. (approx. 2.5 cups, 0.6 lbs/cup)
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp nutmeg

An average of 17-1/2 pounds is needed per canner load of 7 quarts
A bushel weighs 48 pounds and yields 16 to 24 quarts – an average of 2-1/2 pounds per quart.

2.5 lbs/quart
20 lbs / 2.5 = 8 quarts

First try 2021-08-08. We’ll target 7 quarts for canning & 1 quart for a fresh tester pie.
8*.5 = 4 cups brown
8*.25=2cups white
8*3/4=6 cups water
8*.25=2cups clear jel
8*.25tsp=2 tsp nutmeg
8*1=8 tsp lemon juice

Pie Crust Lard

Pie Crust w/ Lard
Ingredients
  1. 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  2. Pinch salt
  3. 1/2 cup lard
  4. 3 to 4 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
  1. In a bowl, combine flour and salt.
  2. Cut in lard until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Sprinkle in water, a tablespoon at a time, until pastry holds together.
  4. Shape into a ball; chill for 30 minutes (no longer than 30 minutes or you will need to wait for it to warm back up and it might get dry)
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/8-in. thickness. I don't even worry about thickness. I just compare the pie pan with what I have rolled out and when it fits I use it. I waste about 1/4 of the dough when I cut off the edges.
  6. Transfer to a 10-in. pie plate.
  7. Flute edges
  8. fill and bake as pie recipe directs.
Notes
  1. Excellent. I doubled the recipe for 2 deep dish 10" pies. It was a tad short, barely enough for pans. I pre-baked 10 min @ 400. After allowing the crust to cool I added the pumpkin mix. The pumpkin pie filling was wet I baked for 20 min @ 425, then 45 min @ 350. Even with the pre-bake and long cooking time, the crust was golden. The family said this was best ever pumpkin pie crust crust
