How to Can Peaches in a Simple Honey Syrup
Author Katie Mae Stanley @ Nourishing Simplicity
Instructions
- Peel your peaches. You can peel them with a paring knife which is what I normally do since I am using bruised fruit. You could also freeze them whole for about an hour and them rub the skin off under running water. Lastly you could put them in a pot of boiling water for 30 seconds and then place them in a bowl of ice water for another 30 seconds. Pick the peach up and the skin will come right of.

- Cut your peaches. You can cut them in half or slice them to your desired thickness. Place them in a bowl.
- Fill each jar with your cut peaches. Pour the lemon juice over the peaches. Use 1 teaspoon for each pint jar and 2 teaspoons for each quart jar.
- Bring the lids/seals to a gentle simmer.
- Bring the honey and water to a simmer to make a "syrup". Once the honey is dissolved turn off the heat.

- Pour the hot syrup into each jar, just filling to where the threads of the jar start.

- Wipe the rim and place the seal and lid on the jar. Twist on the ring, being sure not to make it too tight.
- Place the jars in a water bath canner or pressure canner without the lid.

- Cover the jars with water and bring to a boil for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the pot with a jar clamp and place on a counter or table covered with a dish towel.
- Allow to fully cool and seal before storing away.
- If you have never heard a jar seal before, it is music to the ears!
