1 peck peaches. 4 lbs. brown sugar.
1 quart vinegar. 2 ozs. stick cinnamon.
Cloves.
Boil sugar, vinegar and cinnamon for 20 minutes. Dip peaches quickly in
hot water and rub off fur with a towel. Stick each peach with three or
four cloves, put into syrup and cook until soft. Cook only enough fruit at
a time to fill one jar. Seal in sterilized jars. Pears may be prepared in
the same way.
