DRUNKEN PEACHES (CANNING)
Adapted from "Food in Jars". Not nearly as boozy or as sugary as the ones my grandmother used to make, just enough to give them flavor. I use brandy, but the original recipe called for bourbon. Rum would work well, too, as would a cinnamon stick, some cardamom pods, coriander seeds, or a few whole cloves in the syrup. I use four pounds (nine pieces in a box at Sam's Club) of large peaches and get five pint jars.

Steps:
- Bring the canner full of water to a boil. Cut an X on the bottom of each peach and blanch them in the canning water for 30 to 45 seconds, then drop them into ice water to chill. Slip the skins off when they are cool enough to handle.
- Make a syrup by heating the sugar and water together in a sauce pan, stirring to dissolve the sugar, and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Cut each peeled peach into quarters, remove the pits, and pack them into the warm pint jars, overlapping them to fit. I get seven peach quarters in each jar, plus one leftover quarter I can eat.
- Add 1/4 Cup brandy to each jar of peaches. Add hot syrup to each jar, leaving 1/2 inch head space. Move a knife around in each jar to release any bubbles, then top off with more syrup if necessary. You will probably have extra syrup, but save it for sweetening other products or fruit mixtures.
- Process filled jars in a boiling water bath for 25 minutes (sea level). Let the jars rest for at least a week to develop best flavor.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm peaches for the best flavor. Avoid peaches that are bruised or have soft spots.
- Use a sharp knife to peel the peaches. This will help to prevent the peaches from becoming bruised or damaged.
- If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife to thinly slice the peaches. Just be careful not to cut yourself.
- Use a large bowl or container to mix the peaches, sugar, and spices. This will help to ensure that all of the peaches are evenly coated.
- Cover the peaches and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to cook the peaches. This will help to prevent the peaches from burning or sticking to the pot.
- Bring the peaches to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the peaches are tender and the sauce has thickened.
- Serve the drunken peaches warm or cold, with whipped cream, ice cream, or yogurt.
Conclusion:
Drunken peaches are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They can be served as a dessert, a snack, or even as a topping for pancakes, waffles, or yogurt. The combination of sweet peaches, tangy spices, and boozy syrup is sure to please everyone. So next time you have some ripe peaches on hand, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
