Ingredients 3 ingredients

  1. one quart of water
  2. one pound of sugar
  3. Peaches

Cook safely

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.

Method

  1. Pare and throw them into cold water.
  2. When you have enough to fill one or two jars, take them from the water, put them in a porcelain-lined kettle, cover them with boiling water, and stand on the back part of the fire where they will scarcely simmer until tender.
  3. While they are cooking, make a syrup from one pound of sugar and one quart of water, stir over the fire until the sugar is dissolved, and then boil for three minutes.
  4. Lift the peaches carefully from the water, put them in the syrup, bring to boiling point, and can as directed.
