How to Make Pickled Peaches Or Pears

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups white vinegar, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and 1 cinnamon stick (optional).
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Reduce heat to a simmer.
  3. While the syrup simmers, prepare your fruit. Wash and peel 2 lbs of ripe peaches or pears. Halve or quarter them depending on size. If desired, insert 2-3 whole cloves into each fruit piece.
  4. Gently add the fruit to the simmering syrup in a single layer. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, until slightly softened but still holding their shape.
  5. Remove the fruit with a slotted spoon and place it in sterilized jars. Repeat steps 4-5 until all the fruit is cooked and placed in jars.
  6. Pour the remaining hot syrup over the fruit, leaving about ½ inch of headspace.
  7. Wipe the rims of the jars clean, seal tightly, and let cool completely. The syrup will thicken as it cools.
  8. Store your pickled peaches or pears in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
