Canned Peaches

Print Recipe

A nostalgic recipe for homemade canned peaches that captures the warmth of summer memories.

Ingredients

  • Fresh Peaches
  • Sugar
  • Water
  • Lemon Juice

Instructions

  1. Wash your fresh peaches under running water. You’ll want them clean and ready to shine.
  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once it’s bubbling away, gently place the peaches into the water for about 30 seconds.
  3. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the peaches to an ice bath (a bowl filled with cold water and ice). This will shock them and make peeling easier.
  4. Once chilled, peel the skins off. They should slide right off effortlessly. Slice the peaches in half, remove the pits, and cut into slices if you prefer.
  5. In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups of water with 1 cup of sugar and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  6. Once dissolved, remove from heat and add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. This will not only add flavor but also help preserve the beautiful peach color.
  7. Sterilize your canning jars. Place them in simmering water for 10 minutes to eliminate any bacteria.
  8. Once the jars are ready, carefully pack the peach slices into them, leaving about half an inch of headspace at the top.
  9. Pour the prepared syrup over the peaches, ensuring they are completely covered.
  10. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean cloth to remove any residue.
  11. Place the lids on securely and process the jars in a water bath canner for about 20 minutes.
  12. Once done, remove from the water bath and allow them to cool on a towel. You should hear a lovely popping sound as the jars seal!

Notes

If a jar doesn’t seal right away, refrigerate those jars and enjoy them within a week or two.
