CANNING BOURBON PEACHES

Steps:

• Blanch peaches and remove the skins. For the instructions under tips for removing the skins.
• In a separate pot add water and sugar to create the simple syrup. Bring the syrup to a boil, stirring often to help the sugar dissolve.
• Cut peach slices to 1/2-inch thick.
• Fill jars with the sliced peaches leaving a 1 inch headspace.
• Add enough simple syrup to cover the peaches.
• Next add 1 to 2 tablespoon of bourbon.
• Remove air bubbles using the air bubble remover
• Add additional syrup or bourbon if needed.
• Using a clean dishtowel, wipe the rims of the jars. Add warmed lids and rings to finger tight.
• Process jars in a steam canner or boiling water canner based on the time provided bleow.
• Remove jars from canner and allow the jars to rest for 12 hours. Place any jars which have not sealed into the refrigerator and use first.

DRUNKEN PEACHES (CANNING)

Steps:

• Bring the canner full of water to a boil. Cut an X on the bottom of each peach and blanch them in the canning water for 30 to 45 seconds, then drop them into ice water to chill. Slip the skins off when they are cool enough to handle.
• Make a syrup by heating the sugar and water together in a sauce pan, stirring to dissolve the sugar, and bring to a gentle simmer.
• Cut each peeled peach into quarters, remove the pits, and pack them into the warm pint jars, overlapping them to fit. I get seven peach quarters in each jar, plus one leftover quarter I can eat.
• Add 1/4 Cup brandy to each jar of peaches. Add hot syrup to each jar, leaving 1/2 inch head space. Move a knife around in each jar to release any bubbles, then top off with more syrup if necessary. You will probably have extra syrup, but save it for sweetening other products or fruit mixtures.
• Process filled jars in a boiling water bath for 25 minutes (sea level). Let the jars rest for at least a week to develop best flavor.

• Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for about 5-7 minutes, until it starts to thicken. Salt and pepper to taste.
• Place pork chops in a baking dish, salt and pepper to taste. Top with peach sauce.
