Evening Republican, Volume 18, Number 242, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 13 October 1914 — Peaches Preserved Without Cooking. [ARTICLE]

Peaches Preserved Without Cooking.

Select large, perfect peaches, wipe with a rough towel to remove the down, then pack in a stone jar and cover with boiling water so that all the fruit Is immersed. Then put over the mouth of the Jar a thick fold of cloth so as to retain the steam. Let them stand until the water is almost cold, then take out the peaches and rub off the skin. Now put a layer of peaches in the bottom of jar and cover with a thick layer of the best granulated sugar, then add another layer of peaches and sugar, and so on until all the fruit is used, having the sugar the last layer. Pour in juice immediately and keep in a cold, dry and dark place.
