  • ½ cup water
  • 6 cups sugar

Directions

  1. Sterilize canning jars, and prepare two-piece canning lids according to manufacturer’s instructions.
  2. Sort and wash fully ripe peaches. Remove stems, skins and pits. Crush peaches and put into a large pot with the water.
  3. Over medium heat, cook gently for 10 minutes. Add sugar and slowly bring to a boil, stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves. Cook rapidly until thick, about 15 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
