Sweet Pickled Peaches or Pears

The syrup can be made up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated. Reheat to boiling before adding fruit. Once canned and processed, these pickled peaches or pears will keep in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year unopened.

For shelf-stable storage, process filled jars in a boiling water bath for 20 minutes (adjust time for altitude). Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year. Once opened, refrigerate and consume within 3 weeks. If not processing for shelf stability, store in the refrigerator immediately and use within 2 weeks.
