Ingredients

Roughly 3 pounds of peaches per quart jar
Honey syrup (recipe below)

Directions

Peel the peaches. To make this easier, simply dunk the peaches into boiling water for a minute until the skins easily peel off. Pit the peaches by cutting them in half and removing the pit. You may cut the halves into pieces, if desired, or leave the halves intact.

Place the peaches into sterilized, warm, glass canning quart jars. Pour honey syrup over the top, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.

Add a lid and band to each jar.

Process in a water canner for 25 minutes. Remove and allow the jars to sit on the counter overnight to cool and seal before transferring to storage.
