Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Remove the jars from the stockpot and let rest, several inches apart, for 12 to 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

Step 2

Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 25 minutes.

Step 3

Pour sugar and vinegar into a large saucepan; stir until sugar is mostly dissolved. Add cinnamon sticks and cloves; bring to a boil. Cover and boil for about 5 minutes. Strain out and discard cloves and cinnamon sticks, or you can leave them in for a stronger flavor.

Step 4

Pack peaches into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
