3 lbs about 7 large peaches
4 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups cider vinegar 5% strength
2/3 cup water
2 cinnamon sticks
2 tsp whole cloves

Put the vinegar, sugar, water, and spices into a large non-reactive pan and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Boil covered for 5 minutes, then uncover and boil a further 5 minutes. Meanwhile peel and slice your peaches. Add the peaches to the pot and bring back to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes. Fill sterile jars with the peaches and liquid, leaving 1/2 inch free space at the top. Boil in a water bath canner for 5 minutes (pint jars) or 10 minutes (quart jars) Note: if you live above 1,000 feet altitude you will need longer boiling times, see this chart - https://www.freshpreserving.com/adjust- ... de-canning
