Ingredients
- 4 large ripe peaches
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 3 quarters granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 pieces whole cloves
- 1 piece cinnamon stick
- 1 piece star anise
- 1 inch fresh ginger (peeled and sliced)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Gently score a small 'X' at the bottom of each peach using a paring knife.
Step 2
Carefully drop peaches into the boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer them to an ice water bath to cool. This will help release their skins.
Step 3
Peel the peaches and cut them into halves or wedges, discarding the pits.
Step 4
In a medium saucepan, combine white vinegar, water, granulated sugar, honey, salt, whole cloves, cinnamon stick, star anise, and fresh ginger. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the pickling liquid for 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.
Step 6
Pack the peeled peach halves or wedges tightly in clean mason jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top.
Step 7
Carefully pour the hot pickling liquid over the peaches, ensuring they are fully submerged. Remove any air bubbles by gently tapping the jars on the counter, and add more liquid if necessary.
Step 8
Seal the jars with clean lids and rings. Let them cool to room temperature before refrigerating.
Step 9
Allow the peaches to pickle for at least 24 hours for the flavors to develop, but they will taste even better after 2-3 days. Serve chilled.
