Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.

Prepare a basket of firm peaches by washing, wiping, peeling, quartering and removing pits.
As fast as peeled, put into cold water to prevent turning dark.
Add one quart of sugar to four quarts of water and boil to a thin syrup.
Set the jars on a cloth wrung out of hot water, fill tightly with the fruit, and pour in boiling syrup to fill the jars completely.
Seal immediately.
Place the jars at once in a tub or wash boiler and cover with boiling water.
Place a cover over them and leave until cold.
Pour paraffin around each jar where cover hits the rubber and where the rubber hits the glass.
Old blankets or rugs may be used as a cover for jars in tubs.
