I am eating a # 10 can of nice crisp peaches, and wondering if they heat them they would be mushy. So how do you can fruits that are not jellies or preserves.......and the fruit stays crisp.......???

Pretty much the way you do veggies.

not to mention using peaches specially bred to remain firm after proccessing, to which enourmous amounts of sugar and a bunch of ascorbic acid are added. there are often other preservatives aswell, for both color and textural stability.
