EASY PICKLED PEACHES

Steps:

• Boil the ingredients (exluding the peach halves) for 5 minutes.
• Add peaches and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Allow fruit to stand in the syrup until cool or overnight.

PICKLED PEACHES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients and wash the peaches.
• Add the sugar, water, and vinegar to a large pot and heat on medium-high until the sugar is melted. Bring to a boil. While waiting, stick about six cloves into each peach.
• Once the liquid is boiling, place the peaches in the pot and cook for 20 minutes, turning often.
• Let the peaches and syrup cool for about 5 minutes. Next, spoon the whole peaches into jars. Divide up the cinnamon and ginger between the chosen jars.
• Pour syrup over the jarred peaches. Either seal the jars through basic canning practices or cool and seal the jars and place them in the fridge, where they will last for at least six months. For canning, it's best to wipe the rims of the jars first with a clean, dry cloth and then twist on the ring over the seal. Process the pickled peaches in a hot water bath for about 10 minutes to properly seal. Canned, they can last a few years if stored in a cool, dry place. Once jarred, the peaches are ready to eat within 24 hours, though longer pickling will deepen the flavors until the whole fruit is like eating a warming-spiced slice of Christmas.

PICKLED PEACHES

Steps:

• Toast pickling spice and crushed red pepper in a dry medium saucepan over high heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add water, vinegar, sugar, and salt and bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add peaches and simmer just until tender, about 20 minutes. Remove peaches from liquid with a slotted spoon, reserving liquid, and set aside just until fruit is cool enough to touch.
• Pinch the skin from peaches-if the skin pulls off easily-and discard. (If the skins cling, don't fret-the peaches will be beautiful and tasty that way as well.) Transfer peaches to a sealed container, cover with the reserved liquid, and refrigerate for at least 24 hours. The peaches will keep for 1 week tightly sealed in the refrigerator.

PICKLED PEACHES

Steps:

• Pour sugar and vinegar into a large saucepan, and stir to dissolve sugar. Add cinnamon sticks and cloves, and bring to a boil. Cover and boil for about 5 minutes. Strain out the cloves and cinnamon sticks, or you can leave them in for a stronger flavor.
• Pack peaches into hot sterile 1 pint jars to within 1 inch of the rim. Fill each jar with syrup to within 1/2 inch from the top. Wipe rims with a clean dry cloth, and seal with new lids and screwbands. Process in a hot water bath for 10 minutes.

PICKLED PEACHES

Steps:

• Prepare peaches:
• Dissolve vitamin C powder in 6 cups water in a large bowl (to acidulate water).
• Cut a shallow X in bottom of each peach with a sharp paring knife and blanch in 4 batches in a 5- to 6-quart pot of boiling water 10 to 15 seconds. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a large bowl of ice and cold water and let stand until cool enough to handle. Peel peaches, then halve lengthwise and pit. Add peaches to acidulated water and let stand 10 minutes, then drain well in a colander.
• Toss peaches with sugar in a 6-quart wide heavy pot and chill, covered, at least 8 and up to 12 hours.
• Sterilize jars and lids:
• Wash jars, lids, and screw bands in hot soapy water, then rinse well. Dry screw bands. Put jars on rack in canner and add enough water to cover jars by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, covered, then boil 10 minutes. Cover lids with water in a small saucepan and heat until thermometer registers 180°F (do not let boil). Keep jars and lids submerged in hot water, covered, until ready to use.
• Cook and can peaches:
• Add vinegar, spice, salt, and remaining 1/2 cup water to peaches (sugar will have dissolved and will have drawn out peach juices) and bring to a boil over moderate heat, skimming off foam. Reduce heat and simmer until peaches are barely tender, about 3 minutes.
• Remove jars and lids from water, reserving water in canner, and transfer to a clean kitchen towel, then divide peaches among jars using a slotted spoon. Return peach-cooking liquid to a boil, then pour into jars, leaving 1/4 inch of space at top. Run a thin knife between peaches and sides of jars to eliminate air bubbles.
• Seal and process jars:
• Wipe off rims of filled jars with a dampened kitchen towel, then firmly screw on lids with screw bands. Put sealed jars on rack in canner and, if necessary, add enough hot water to cover jars by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, covered. Boil jars 20 minutes, then transfer with tongs to a towel-lined surface to cool. Jars will seal as they cool (if you hear a ping, that signals that the vacuum formed at the top of the jar has made the lid concave).
• After jars have cooled 12 to 24 hours, press center of each lid to check that it's concave, then remove screw band and try to lift off lid with your fingertips. If you can't, the lid has a good seal. Store in a cool dry place up to 6 months. Promptly put any jars that haven't sealed in the refrigerator and use them first.

PICKLED PEACHES (DOLLY PARTON'S RECIPE) RECIPE

Steps:

• Put a large pot of water on to boil. Prepare a large bowl with ice and water. Combine sugar, vinegar, ginger, cinnamon sticks and cloves with 2 cups water in another large pot. Cover and bring the mixture to a boil stirring often, until the sugar has dissolved. Remove the pot from the heat and set aside. Parboil the peaches in batches by submerging them in the boiling water for 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and drop into the ice water. When cool enough to handle, remove the skins. Halve and pit the peaches. Transfer the peaches to the sugar-spice mixture and place the pot over low heat. Cover and simmer until the peaches are heated and tender when pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Use a slotted spoon to pack the peaches quickly into hot sterilized pint-size jars, filling them within 3/4 inch of the rim. Pour the boiling syrup into the jars to cover the peaches by 1/4 inch. Place 2 cinnamon sticks and a few cloves in each jar. Remove any air bubbles by sliding a nonmetallic spatula between the jar and the peaches 2-3 times. Clean the rim and threads of the jar with a damp cloth. Center a heated lid over the band and screw it down firmly and evenly. Place the jar into a canner or hot water bath for 30 minutes. Remove the jar and set on a towel to cool for 12-24 hours. The canned peaches will keep up to 1 year in a cool, dark place.
