3 or 4 sticks whole cinnamon
2 tablespoons whole cloves
Directions
Peel peaches and put in a deep non-metallic vessel.
Boil the vinegar, sugars, and spices until the sugar is dissolved.
Pour boiling hot over the peaches, cover with a plate weighted down to hold the fruit under the liquid, and let stand 24 hours.
Drain off the liquid, reheat, pour over the peaches again, and let stand another 24 hours.
Repeat this step on the third day.
On the fourth morning, drain off the liquid (strain out the spices), boil it down to a fairly thick syrup, and in this simmer a few peaches at a time until they are tender but not soft.
Pack hot peaches in hot, sterilized jars, cover with hot syrup, and seal jars according to manufacturer's instructions.
