3-3/4 cups water
2 tsp. cinnamon
3/4 tsp. cloves

Place peach slices in water containing ascorbic acid, until all peaches are
sliced.

This will prevent browning of the fruit which can occur rather rapidly

saucepan.

Stir and cook over medium heat until mixture boils. Drain peaches and add to
syrup mixture. Cook for 3 minutes.

Pour into hot jars, release air bubbles, clean jar rims, and seal.
