PICKLED PEACHES

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the vinegar, honey, sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Heat until the sugar dissolves, 2 to 3 minutes. You do not want this to get too hot or it will cook the peaches.
• Put the ginger in the bottom of a 1-quart mason jar, then fill with the peaches. Pour the liquid over the peaches. Seal with a lid and place in the refrigerator. They will be ready to eat in 1 to 2 weeks and will last in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.

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.
