Delicious Pickled Peaches Recipes

PICKLED PEACHES

Steps:

• In a large, nonreactive (stainless steel) stockpot over medium heat, bring 1 cup water, sugar, vinegar, 6 cinnamon sticks, and 18 cloves to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat to medium-low and add peaches. Gently simmer, without reaching a boil, until peaches are heated through and a fork pierces the fruit with no resistance, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Using a slotted spoon, divide peaches among 6 sterilized 1-pint canning jars, placing peaches cavity side down. Add 1 of the remaining cinnamon sticks and 3 of the remaining cloves to each jar. Ladle cooking liquid into jars, filling each to within 1/2 inch of rim. Wipe the lip of each jar rim with a clean, wet cloth to remove any syrup or bits of fruit; then top each jar with a flat lid and screw on a threaded ring band without tightening completely. Roll jars on their sides to release any air bubbles that might be trapped in peach cavities; turn upright. Remove ring bands and lids, and add more cooking liquid, if needed because of settling, to fill jars to within 1/2 inch of rim. Replace lids and threaded ring bands, tightening completely to seal. Store pickled peaches in refrigerator for up to 8 weeks.

PICKLED PEACHES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients and wash the peaches.
• Add the sugar, water, and vinegar to a large pot and heat on medium-high until the sugar is melted. Bring to a boil. While waiting, stick about six cloves into each peach.
• Once the liquid is boiling, place the peaches in the pot and cook for 20 minutes, turning often.
• Let the peaches and syrup cool for about 5 minutes. Next, spoon the whole peaches into jars. Divide up the cinnamon and ginger between the chosen jars.
• Pour syrup over the jarred peaches. Either seal the jars through basic canning practices or cool and seal the jars and place them in the fridge, where they will last for at least six months. For canning, it's best to wipe the rims of the jars first with a clean, dry cloth and then twist on the ring over the seal. Process the pickled peaches in a hot water bath for about 10 minutes to properly seal. Canned, they can last a few years if stored in a cool, dry place. Once jarred, the peaches are ready to eat within 24 hours, though longer pickling will deepen the flavors until the whole fruit is like eating a warming-spiced slice of Christmas.
