What a shame to cut up perfectly beautiful peaches! Remember the pickled peaches we used to have at Thanksgiving and Christmas and special occasions? Does anyone have a recipe for pickled peaches? There are lots of ways to pickle peaches, Martha. It depends on what you like in the jar! Most recipes call for 2 cups sugar to 1 cup vinegar and boiling that with the spices you want (a cinnamon sticker per jar, a clove per peach, and a sprinkle of black peppercorns to start with. You can take it from there!). You'll want to boil up enough pickling liquid to cover the peaches in the jars: you often will cook the peaches until just tender and then slip into jars and seal them as you normally do for canning (Ball has a great site for canning instructions: http://www.freshpreserving.com/getting-started.aspx ) Best, Kim@KAF
