peach pie filling (to can)

8 cups chopped or diced peaches (however you like!)
1 3/4 cups sugar
4 TBSP minute tapioca
1/2 cup water

Put all together in pot and make sure tapioca gets soaked in juices at least 5 minutes prior to cooking. (This keeps it from becoming gluey and gooey and Lewey...that was for you, Rhea!) Boil for 2 minutes and ladle into jars. Hot water bath 20 minutes. 
I quadrupled this recipe and got 7 quarts with enough left over to eat with icecream for supper!
Oh, and one batch I did half the fruit raspberries and half peaches. SCRUMMMM!

I can almost taste the tarts made with this. Add a mammothosity pile of whipped cream sweetened with cherry or peach Torani syrup...ok I'll quit now!
