Ingredients
Scale
- 6 quarts ripe peaches

- 8 cups water
Instructions
- Wash peaches and blanch in boiling water for 30-60 seconds. Plunge into ice water.
- Peel, halve, and pit the peaches.
- In a large pot, combine sugar and water. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. This creates your light syrup.

- Remove any air bubbles by sliding a non-metallic utensil around the inside of the jar.

Notes
