Recipe of the week - Spiced Peaches

Spiced or pickled peaches were a staple of my childhood.  Mom canned them for many years.  When i ran across this recipe, it reminded me of those peaches.  This is a good recipe when you do not have the time to can them yourself.  It's quick, easy and tasty!

2 (29 ounce) cans cling peaches (halves or slices)
1&1/3 cups sugar
1 cup cider vinegar
4 (3-inch) sticks cinnamon
2 tsps whole cloves

Drain peaches, reserving the syrup.  Combine the peach syrup, sugar, vinegar, cinnamon sticks and cloves in a saucepan.  Bring mixture to a boil.  Lower heat and simmer 10 minutes.  Pour the hot syrup over the peaches and let cool.  Chill thoroughly before serving.  Store in the refrigerator.

*when i the liquid came to a boil, it foamed very quickly and flowed out of the pan some so keep an eye on it when cooking.

Enjoy!
