I love this time of year when the fruit is on in abundance. Peaches are one of my favorites! This recipe is simple and a healthier version of the stuff processed in syrup. I usually buy 2 large boxes form the farmer’s market to make 20 quarts plus some for making fruit leather or jam.
Recipe
Fresh Peaches
1 tablespoon organic sugar per quart
1 teaspoon citric acid per quart
Boiling hot water
Blanch the peaches for 30 seconds. Remove the skin and pit and cut into slices. Place peaches in jar filling to rim. Add the sugar and citric acid. Pour boiling hot water into the jar until there is a 3/4 inch space to the top. Clean the edges and put on lids and rings. Process for 25 minutes.
