PICKLED PEACHES WITH SWEET SPICES
I love the balance of sweet, sour and spice in this recipe. These are refrigerator pickles, meant to be kept in the refrigerator, where they will keep for up to two months; so you could pull them out for Thanksgiving, though I doubt you will be able to resist them for that long. Although this recipe calls for a lot of sugar, you will not be consuming the syrup so don't be alarmed by it.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and drop in peaches. After 30 seconds, transfer to a bowl of ice water, then drain and skin. Place in a bowl and toss with lemon juice.
- Tie 1 tablespoon cloves, the allspice and the cinnamon stick in a cheesecloth or muslin bag. In a pot large enough to accommodate all the peaches, combine vinegar, water, sugar, spice bag and vanilla bean and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Skim off any foam that rises. Add peaches to the pot and continue to simmer 3 to 5 minutes, until a toothpick can easily penetrate down to the pit. Remove from heat.
- Using tongs, carefully remove each peach from pot and transfer to a bowl. When cool enough to handle, cut in half and remove pits. Stud each half with a clove and return to pot. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- The next day return pot to stove and flip over the peach halves. Squeeze spice bag over the pot to extract fragrant brine, and discard bag. Bring peaches back to a boil and turn off the heat.
- Pack peaches into hot, sterilized jars. Pour in syrup, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace. Cut vanilla bean into halves or thirds and put a piece into each jar. Seal jars, allow to cool and refrigerate for up to 2 months.

Steps:
- Gather the ingredients and wash the peaches.
- Add the sugar, water, and vinegar to a large pot and heat on medium-high until the sugar is melted. Bring to a boil. While waiting, stick about six cloves into each peach.
- Once the liquid is boiling, place the peaches in the pot and cook for 20 minutes, turning often.
- Let the peaches and syrup cool for about 5 minutes. Next, spoon the whole peaches into jars. Divide up the cinnamon and ginger between the chosen jars.
- Pour syrup over the jarred peaches. Either seal the jars through basic canning practices or cool and seal the jars and place them in the fridge, where they will last for at least six months. For canning, it's best to wipe the rims of the jars first with a clean, dry cloth and then twist on the ring over the seal. Process the pickled peaches in a hot water bath for about 10 minutes to properly seal. Canned, they can last a few years if stored in a cool, dry place. Once jarred, the peaches are ready to eat within 24 hours, though longer pickling will deepen the flavors until the whole fruit is like eating a warming-spiced slice of Christmas.

Steps:
- 1. Sterilize the jars and lids in either a pot of boiling water or dishwasher. Remove jars and lids with tongs and place on a clean surface.
- 2. To peel the peaches, fill a large pot with water and bring to boil. Cut a small x on the top and bottom axes of each peach. Carefully drop them into the pot of boiling water and let them cook for 30 seconds. Using tongs or a long spoon, remove peaches, rinse with cold water, and then peel off the skin by gently rubbing the peach. Halve and pit the peeled peaches and put them in the jars.
- 3. In another pot, bring to a boil the cider vinegar and the sugar. In each jar add half the habanero chile, a cinnamon stick, and 2 whole cloves. When the vinegar comes to a boil, pour it into the jars and add enough water to the jar to fill (though be sure and leave 1/4-inch headroom from the top). Cover and refrigerate. Will be ready in a couple of days. Will last refrigerated for 1 month.
PICKLED PEACHES
Steps:
- Prepare peaches:
- Dissolve vitamin C powder in 6 cups water in a large bowl (to acidulate water).
- Cut a shallow X in bottom of each peach with a sharp paring knife and blanch in 4 batches in a 5- to 6-quart pot of boiling water 10 to 15 seconds. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a large bowl of ice and cold water and let stand until cool enough to handle. Peel peaches, then halve lengthwise and pit. Add peaches to acidulated water and let stand 10 minutes, then drain well in a colander.
- Toss peaches with sugar in a 6-quart wide heavy pot and chill, covered, at least 8 and up to 12 hours.
- Sterilize jars and lids:
- Wash jars, lids, and screw bands in hot soapy water, then rinse well. Dry screw bands. Put jars on rack in canner and add enough water to cover jars by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, covered, then boil 10 minutes. Cover lids with water in a small saucepan and heat until thermometer registers 180°F (do not let boil). Keep jars and lids submerged in hot water, covered, until ready to use.
- Cook and can peaches:
- Add vinegar, spice, salt, and remaining 1/2 cup water to peaches (sugar will have dissolved and will have drawn out peach juices) and bring to a boil over moderate heat, skimming off foam. Reduce heat and simmer until peaches are barely tender, about 3 minutes.
- Remove jars and lids from water, reserving water in canner, and transfer to a clean kitchen towel, then divide peaches among jars using a slotted spoon. Return peach-cooking liquid to a boil, then pour into jars, leaving 1/4 inch of space at top. Run a thin knife between peaches and sides of jars to eliminate air bubbles.
- Seal and process jars:
- Wipe off rims of filled jars with a dampened kitchen towel, then firmly screw on lids with screw bands. Put sealed jars on rack in canner and, if necessary, add enough hot water to cover jars by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, covered. Boil jars 20 minutes, then transfer with tongs to a towel-lined surface to cool. Jars will seal as they cool (if you hear a ping, that signals that the vacuum formed at the top of the jar has made the lid concave).
- After jars have cooled 12 to 24 hours, press center of each lid to check that it's concave, then remove screw band and try to lift off lid with your fingertips. If you can't, the lid has a good seal. Store in a cool dry place up to 6 months. Promptly put any jars that haven't sealed in the refrigerator and use them first.
Tips:
- Choose firm, ripe peaches for pickling. Overripe peaches will become mushy during the pickling process.
- Use a variety of spices to flavor your pickled peaches. Common spices include cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and ginger.
- If you want your pickled peaches to be sweeter, add more sugar to the pickling liquid. You can also add a little bit of honey or maple syrup.
- Make sure to sterilize your jars and lids before canning your pickled peaches. This will help to prevent spoilage.
- Store your pickled peaches in a cool, dark place. They will keep for up to 1 year.
Conclusion:
Pickled peaches are a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They can be served as a side dish, used as a topping for salads or desserts, or even added to cocktails. If you're looking for a unique and flavorful way to preserve your peaches, pickling is a great option.
