pickled peaches

Pickled peaches are sweet, tart, gingery and so delicious. They have a candied peach consistency and are infused with sweet vinegar and a ton of spicy ginger, cinnamon and star anise.

lemon juice

Wash 6 pint jars and 2-piece lids with hot soapy water and let dry. Drop 2 slices ginger in each jar and set aside.

Tie up ginger, cinnamon pieces and star anise in a piece of cheesecloth and toss in a large saucepan. Add sugar, water and vinegar. Bring to a boil, stirring to help sugar dissolve, then simmer for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil and fill a medium-sized bowl with ice water for blanching. Drop peaches in the boiling water and cook for about a minute, or until the skins loosen, then shock in ice water.

Fill a large bowl with lemon juice. Slip skin off of peaches, then slice into 1-inch thick wedges. Toss the slices in the lemon juice as you go to prevent browning.

Use a slotted spoon to transfer sliced peaches to syrup; discard lemon juice. Bring to a boil then remove from heat. Ladle peaches and syrup into prepared jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace; discard spice satchel. Use a clean, damp paper towel to clean the edges of the jars and close with two-piece lids. Process jars in a boiling water bath for 20 minutes.

Store cooled jars in a cool, dark, dry place for at least 1 week (to let flavors meld) and up to 6 months.

Pickled peaches are sweet, winey, and spicy, and pair well with desserts, cheese, or main dishes like grilled pork or fish.

Pickled Peaches

firm, ripe medium peaches

apple cider vinegar

lemon

black peppercorns (slightly bruised (optional))

If you are canning peaches, sterilize 2 one-quart jars and lids in boiling water and set them aside on a clean surface. Do not discard the water as you will use it for canning. Turn off the heat. If making refrigerator pickled peaches, the jars and the lids need to be clean but don&#39;t need to be sterilized.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Prepare a bowl of ice water.

Blanch the peaches in the boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then dunk them in the ice water to cool down.

Next, peel the peaches. The peels should come right off. If not, use a peeler with a serrated swivel blade to remove them.

Cut the peaches in half if they are too large to fit in the jar.

Combine the vinegar, water, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, lemon zest, and peppercorns in a non-reactive saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Decrease the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.

Poach 3 or 4 peaches at a time in the syrup for 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the peaches to the jars.

Fill the jars with the hot syrup, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Distribute the cinnamon sticks, cloves, and lemon peels among the jars.

Cover the jars with tight lids and let them cool to room temperature.

Transfer the jars to the refrigerator and store for up to 3 months, possibly longer.

Refrigerator Pickled Peaches

Wipe the rims with slightly damp paper towels or a clean kitchen towel, set the lids on the mouths of the jars, and screw on the rings finger-tight.

Using a jar lifter, gently lower the jars into the pot with the hot (not boiling) water. Make sure that the water covers the jars an inch above the lids. Bring the water to a boil and process the jars for 30 minutes at 1,001-3,000 feet above sea level, 35 minutes at 3,001 - 6,000 feet, and 40 minutes above 6,000 feet. Turn off the heat and leave the jars in the water for 1-2 minutes.

Using a jar lifter, carefully transfer the jars from the pot to a baking sheet lined with paper towels and let them at room temperature for at least 6 hours. Check the seals, label, and store the sealed peaches for up to a year in a cool, dry place. Once open, store in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
