Number Of Ingredients 6

19 pounds firm ripe peaches
7 pounds white sugar
2 cups distilled white vinegar
1 quart water

3 tablespoons crushed cinnamon stick

Steps:

  • Peel peaches and set aside. In a large pot over medium high heat, boil sugar, vinegar and water until the syrup is moderately thick.
  • Add cloves, cinnamon and peaches. Bring to boil stirring occasionally until the peaches can be pierced to the pit with a fork.
  • Fill sterilized canning jars with peaches. Continue boiling syrup until heavy and add to peaches to cover.
  • In a large stock pot, pour water half way to top with boiling water. Using a holder, carefully lower jars into pot. Leave a 2-inch space between jars.

Put jars on a wood or cloth surface, several inches apart and allow to cool. Jars will be sealed.
