Spiced Honey Vanilla Peaches
I am a sucker for peaches! Recently I found two bushels of peaches at my front door. My Uncle has a Peach Tree in his back yard and this year he had an abundance of peaches that he decided to share with me. I was thrilled!
As I was debating what I was going to can with this years peach crop I decided upon Spiced Honey Vanilla Peaches. I had never canned these before but they sounded amazing and I knew that I had to give them a try!
Ingredients:
7 lbs peaches peeled and sliced 2tbs vanilla extract 4 cinnamon sticks 1/2 cup white sugar 1 cup honey 2 cups waterDirections:
1. Wash peaches and score an X at bottom of each peach.
2. Blanch peaches 1 minute in boiling water.
3. Immediately place blanched peaches into ice water and let sit for 1 minute.
4. Peel skin from peaches.
5. Slices peaches and remove from seed.
6. In large saucepan bring vanilla, cinnamon, honey, sugar and water to a boil over medium heat. Add sliced peaches and cook for 3 minutes. Pack peaches and liquid into sanitized quart jars leaving 1/4″ headspace. Take a butter knife along inside of jars to remove air bubbles. Place lids and process 30 minutes (remember to adjust for altitude).
Oh my goodness these peaches are amazing! I ended up canning 16 jars of them about a month ago and I only have 6 left! My family can’t get enough! Next year I will make sure to can many MANY more jars! Yum!
** Please remember canning can be dangerous. If you have never done this before then please read up on the importance of canning properly. Botulism is a very serious illness!
I’ve never eaten it, but I really looooooooove what I see here 🙂

looks yummy 🙂
These look amazing. I have a peach orchard that I like to go to.
These sound delicious. I have never tried them but I love peaches and vanilla.
This sounds wonderful….my family would love them. Thank you for posting this.
These sound awesome even though there’s a lot of sugar in them. I’d make them with a lot less sugar and allow the liquid to continue to cook until thickened so it gets the sweetness from the reduced syrup.
Do you have to cook the peaches? I just cook the syrup? I don’t want to chance the idea he’s getting mushy
Sorry spell check
I don’t want to chance the peaches getting mushy? Can I not just cook the syrup ?
I love peaches! I am going to make these today with peaches from my tree. BUT how do you eat them? Over ice cream, straight out of the jar( my first thought they look amazing). Thanks
