How to Make Rose Kissed Peaches
- Wash and peel 4 lbs ripe peaches. Remove pits and slice into wedges.
- Place peach wedges in a large bowl. Cover with 4 cups of water and add the juice of 1 lemon.
- Let peaches sit while you prepare the rose syrup (step 4).
- In a large saucepan, combine 4 cups granulated sugar, 1 cup light corn syrup, and 2 cups water.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Once the syrup is clear, remove from heat. Stir in 6 cups of clean pink rose petals (Zephirine Drouhin) and 2 cups of clean red rose petals (Tradescant). Add the reserved lemon juice.
- Return the saucepan to low heat and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, or until the syrup has deepened in color and absorbed the rose's fragrance and the syrup slightly thickens. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat. Strain the rose petals from the syrup using a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, pressing gently to extract as much syrup as possible.
- Sterilize four 1-pint canning jars, lids, and bands in boiling water for at least 10 minutes.
- Drain the peaches thoroughly. Pack peach slices into the sterilized jars, leaving 1 inch of headspace.
- Divide the rose syrup evenly among the jars, leaving 1 inch of headspace.
- Remove any air bubbles by running a non-metallic utensil along the sides of the jars.
- Wipe the jar rims clean. Place the lids and bands on the jars, tightening slightly.
- Process jars in a boiling water bath for 20 minutes. Ensure jars are submerged by at least 2 inches of water.
- Carefully remove jars from the boiling water bath using tongs. Let them cool completely on a kitchen towel.
- Check for a proper seal by pressing the center of each lid. If the lid doesn't flex, the seal is tight.
- Store jars in a cool, dark pantry for up to one year. If a jar doesn't seal properly, refrigerate and consume within one month.
