| Boil water in a
small deep pot. Prick the peaches
just slightly in 4 or 5 places.
Then, using a fork with a wooden
handle, dip each peach in the
water for about 10 seconds. Then
run under cold water and skin
them. (You may need to leave in
hot water a few more seconds.
Experiment.) Leave peaches whole,
or cut them in half, and pack
them into the jars. (Note: You
may need only 2 jars.) |

Boil the
sugar/vinegar syrup with the
spices for 5 minutes. Pour over
the peaches in the jar and screw
down the lid. Refrigerate. Now,
see if you can resist these for
several weeks, because they
improve with age. They will keep
for months if the lid is on
tightly. If you like your peaches
softer, cook them in the syrup
with the spices for 5 minutes
before putting them in the jar. |
