Ingredients

• 12 pounds ripe peaches
• 8 cups sugar
• 1 cup vinegar

Preparation

Step 1

Wash peaches. Do not peel. Cut into quarters if small - eighths for larger peaches.
-
Place vinegar into large heavy pot. Bring to boil. Add peaches and sugar. Stir carefully to dissolve sugar. Cook until juice comes out of peaches, watching carefully because it will burn easily.
-
Turn heat to low and cook very slowly for about four hours, or until it is as thick as desired.
-
Put in pint-sized freezer containers and store in freezer. Excellent for fried pies or with toast for breakfast. Yields: 12 pints.
