Rich Canned Peaches

Ingredients

Directions

The book gives no cooking times; the times in the steps were added in transcription, so check for doneness rather than trusting the clock.

  1. Peel and slice the peaches.

  2. In a pot, combine equal parts sugar and water to create a syrup.

  3. Bring the syrup to a boil, then add the peaches.

  4. Simmer the peaches in the syrup for 10 minutes.

  5. Pack the peaches into sterilized jars and cover with syrup.

  6. Seal the jars and process in a boiling water bath for 20 minutes.

Recipe from a historical cookbook (Internet Archive).

Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
