In a large saucepan, bring the peaches and water to a boil over a medium

very tender. In a food processor fitted with the metal blade or a blender,
process the fruit mixture in batches until smooth. Return the puree to the

the jars. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Remove the jars
from the water and cool completely at room temperature. Makes about 3
pints. Source: "An Edible Christmas" (A Treasury of Recipes for the
