follow these few simple steps. First check the jars for cracks or chips.
Second place the lids in boiling water to sterilize. While the lids boil, wash
the jars and rings in hot, soapy water. Next place the boiling hot peaches
and syrup into the hot, sterilized jars. As soon as the jar is full within a half
inch of headspace wipe the rim of the jar clean. Immediately cap the jar
with the hot lid. Next place the jar in a steamer. After steaming for twenty
minutes remove the jar from the steam bath. Once the jar has cooled you
can store it until needed. The peaches will stay fresh for several years.
