A note about whole spices
Whole spices are great to have around during the holidays, they can be used in lots of festive recipes like mulled wine and mulled cider. I’ve used them in my spiced cocktail cherries, too. Buy them from stores like Cost Plus World Market, and you can always order them online.
I kept these spiced peaches simple and classic with just cinnamon and cloves, but there’s no reason you can’t add other spices if you like. Try cardamom, star anise, coriander, allspice, or even a vanilla bean.
When canned your peaches will last up to a year. You can also skip the canning and keep yours in the refrigerator for up to a month, provided the peaches stay immersed in the liquid.
What you’ll need for canning spiced peaches
- peaches (choose ripe but still firm peaches for this recipe)
- whole cinnamon sticks and cloves
- apple cider vinegar
- sugar
- a water bath canner
- canning jars (I use Weck jars)
You can slice your peaches or you can actually leave them whole, which is a traditionally Southern way to do it. Stud the outside of the peaches with whole cloves, and proceed as directed. There’s nothing more luxurious than serving whole spiced peaches at your holiday table…people will definitely ooooh and aaaah.
