3/4 lb. sugar
3/4 c. water to each pound of prepared fruit

Cling stone peaches are better than free-stone, for they keep their shape better. Wash, peel, and remove the stones if desired. If the stones are to be removed, cut the peaches in quarters.

Boil the sugar and water for 10 minutes. Skim, add the fruit and cook rapidly until it is transparent. Seal in clean hot jars.
