Instructions
- Wash and sanitize jars and lids. Keep jars warm in the oven set to 170F, set the lids aside in a clean bowl.
- Bring water to a boil in a large canning pot (enough to cover the jars by 1 inch) as well as a second pot for blanching peaches. Prepare a large bowl with cold water and ice for the ice bath.
- Slice peaches in half and remove the pit. Add peach halves to the second pot of boiling water to blanch. Boil for 2-3 minutes if your peaches are ripe, boil for 4-5 minutes if the peaches are still quite firm. Transfer peaches directly into the ice bath and allow them to chill for 2-3 minutes.
- Peel the skins off the peaches. If they do not come off easily you may have to use a paring knife to finish peeling them. The softer your peaches are, the more easily the peel will come off.
- Prepare your syrup by adding the water and sugar to a sauce pan and bringing to a light simmer and the sugar is completely dissolved. Keep the syrup hot while you finish preparing all the peaches.
- Once the peaches are all ready to be jarred, remove warm jars from the oven using the jar tongs or a kitchen towel. Use a fork to place the peach halves in the jars flat side down. Fill the jars just under the bottom of the neck. It's better to undersell than to overfill.
- Using a wide-mouthed canning funnel, ladle the hot syrup into each jar leaving 1/2 inch of headspace in the jar. Wipe the rims of the jars clean with a clean towel and use the magnetic lid lifter to place the lid on top of the jar. Tighten the ring to fingertip tight.
- Use the jar tongs to transfer the jars into the pot of boiling water. Once all the jars are in the water replace the lid and bring back to a rolling boil. Once the water is boiling again set the timer for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes is up, remove the pot from the heat and let it sit for 5 minutes. Remove the jars from the pot and set on a clean towel. You should hear the lids seal after a few minutes. Let the jars rest undisturbed for at least 12 hours before checking that they all sealed completely. Tighten the rings around the jars and store in a cool, dark place for up to 12 months.
