Ingredients
- 3 lbs large peaches about 7

- Put the vinegar, sugar, water, and spices into a large non-reactive pan and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Boil covered for 5 minutes, then uncover and boil a further 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile peel and slice your peaches.
- Add the peaches to the pot and bring back to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes.
- Fill sterile jars with the peaches and liquid, leaving 1/2 inch free space at the top. Boil in a water bath canner for 5 minutes (pint jars) or 10 minutes (quart jars) Note: if you live above 1,000 feet altitude you will need longer boiling times, see this chart

Notes
- Choose ripe but firm, blemish free peaches. Discard any brown spots.
- I like to peel my peaches with my serrated peeler, but if you prefer the boiling water/ice bath method, go for it. Simply immerse your peaches into boiling water for 30-60 seconds and then plunge them into ice water. The skins will slip off easily.
