Get ready:
- Sanitize quart jars, rings
- Start heating two large pots of water on stove (my big normal cooking pot and huge canning pot). Bring to a high simmer
- Rinse peaches (?)
- Get a few large containers of cold water with ice cubes ready.
- Fill waterbath canner so it'll be ready to put on stove after peaches are done.
- Get 6 c water ready to boil in microwave (you'll add 1 c sugar)
- Get a small saucepan ready with lids
Go!
- Place peaches in hot water (about 12 in big-smaller pot, 24 in large canning pot) for 1 min.
- Move to cold water (for 7 quarts I did about two batches in each pot).
- Place Waterbath canner on stove and get it heating.
- Cut around peach, remove skins, pit, and slice or dice.
- Use funnel to fill jars with peaches. Fill to the neck (will sink a little but don't fill much more than that.
- When there's only a couple jars left to fill, boil the 6 c water. Add 1 c sugar and stir until dissolved.
- Also get the saucepan with lids heating. Bring to a boil.
- Fill the jars with the syrup, leaving 1/2" headspace.
- Wipe tops, place lids on, and secure with rings.
- Place in canner-not boiling, but hot.
- Water should cover about 1".
- Bring to a boil, then process 25 min.
- When done let the jars sit a few minutes before pulling out. (lift rack up, and leave in pot)
- Remove to rest on towels.
