Canning Clingstone Peaches

Clingstone peaches are a bit more work. It will hold it's firmness and won't go mushy in the jars over the months. Clingstone peaches also hold their flavours well. It is worth the extra work!

Wash and clean jars. Boil lids to soften rubber (about 5 mins.)

Prepare peaches. Slice around the crease of the peach, twist in half and cut around the pit.

Fill jars with peach halves or slices.

Make a medium syrup. 2 parts boiling water and 1 part sugar. In our case it was 4 cups of water and 2 cups of sugar. Stir until completely dissolved.

Fill peach jars with the syrup to the rim and wipe jars clean.
Screw the lid on and place in the canner.

Once canner is full, fill it with water up to 1" below the jar lid
Cover and bring the pot to a boil. Boil softly for about 30 mins.

Remove hot jars and place on the counter to cool, once you hear the "pop" you'll know the jar is sealed.
