Procedure

Peel your peaches

• Do this by dipping peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds to 1 minute. I use my blancher and do 5 or so peaches at a time. This depends on the size of the peach.

• Immediately remove the peaches to a sink or bowl with cold water to stop the cooking.

Slice peaches into 1/2 to 1 inch slices. To prevent browning of peaches you will want to slice the peaches into a pot with a light syrup.

Or treat with Fruit Fresh. This should be available in the canning sections at the grocery store or the hardware store. Follow the instructions on the package.

Bring water to a boil in a large pot. In batches of about 6 cups each place peaches into boiling water. Boil peaches 1 minute after the water returns to a boil. Drain but keep warm in a large pot or bowl. Prepare about 6 quarts sliced peaches.

Combine water, sugar, and clear jel, flour or cornstarch in a large pot. Heat and stir until mixture begins to thicken and bubble. Add lemon juice and any spices or flavorings and boil 1 minute more.

Gently add sliced peaches and heat for 3 minutes. Stirring constantly.

Fill your jars leaving a 1 inch headspace.  Wipe the rims clean, remove any air bubbles and place your lids.

For more details follow water bath canning instructions.

Then place the last little bit in a bowl add a scoop of ice cream.... enjoy while your filling processes.
