Title: Home Canned Spiced Peaches (My Grandmother's Recipe)
Categories: Fruits, Spices, Preserving
Yield: 7 Quarts

MMMMM--------------------------PEACHES-------------------------------
10 lb Peaches (abt 15 large)
14 Cinnamon sticks
3 1/2 ts Whole cloves
3 1/2 ts Whole allspice

MMMMM---------------------------SYRUP--------------------------------
12 c Granulated sugar
+=OR=+
6 c Granulated sugar for light
- syrup
12 c Water

Prepare your water bath canner and clean jars. Start the
canner coming to a boil. If it is ready before the fruit
you can turn it off. It will come back to a boil very
quickly when you are ready.

Put spices into the jars. 1/2 teaspoon of whole
allspice, 1/2 teaspoon of cloves, 2 whole cinnamon
sticks per jar.

Prepare desired sugar syrup by heating water and sugar
in a sauce pan until sugar is dissolved. Set it aside.

Blanch peaches by dipping in boiling water for 30-60
seconds. Use a large slotted spoon and do 5 peaches at a
time. Immediately remove peaches to a sink or bowl with
ice water to stop the cooking.

Slice each peach in half along the natural line of the
peach. The skin will slip off easily after it is cut.
Remove skin, pit, and any little fragments of pit left
in the peach.

Fill one jar at a time. Each peach half is supposed to
be packed pit side down. As you fill a jar, cover the
peaches with hot syrup leaving 1/2" head space.

Load 7 quarts into a boiling water bath canner. Make
sure the jars are covered by at least 2" of water.

Bring the water back to a boil. Process for 30 minutes.

Remove jars of peaches and place on a towel to cool.
Allow them to come to room temperature. The lids will
seal at this time. Any lids that do not seal need to be
processed again or refrigerated and eaten within a week.
Sealed jars can be labeled and stored on a shelf out of
direct light for up to two years.
