-JUDI M. PHELPS
8 lb Whole peaches, sm. to med.
-peeled
6 c Sugar
4 c Vinegar
2 c -- water
4 Cinnamon sticks
1 1/2 tb Whole cloves
2 ts Powdered ginger
1/2 ts White pepper

Combine all the ingredients in a heavy saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat.
Boil until the peaches can be pierced easily with a
fork, a matter of minutes; do not allow them to
soften. Remove the pan from the heat, and let the
peaches sit in the syrup at room temperature for at
least 8 hours or overnight.

Prepare quart canning jars according to the
manufacturer's directions. Return the pan to the stove
and bring the mixture back to a boil. Spoon the
peaches into the jars, wedging them in, and divide the
syrup and spices equally among the jars. Leave about
1/2-inch of headspace in each jar. Process the jars
for 20 minutes.

For the best taste, store the peaches for at least 2
weeks before serving them.
