How to Make Mrs Johnson's Peach Preserves
- Peel and slice approximately 24 ripe peaches (about 6 cups sliced peaches).
- In a large saucepan, combine 4 cups of granulated sugar and 1 cup of water. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- Boil for 5 minutes, or until a light syrup forms. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
- Gently stir in the sliced peaches.
- Return the mixture to a rolling boil, watching carefully to prevent boiling over. Reduce heat if necessary.
- Boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent sticking and burning.
- Remove from heat and skim off any remaining foam.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of almond extract (or vanilla extract), and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- Carefully ladle the hot peach preserves into clean, sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
- Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude – consult a canning guide for specifics).
- Remove jars and let cool completely. Check for seals (the lid should not flex). Store in a cool, dark place.
