To Preserve Peaches
Put your peaches in boiling water, just give them a scald, but don’t let them boil, take them out, and put them in cold water, then dry them in a sieve, and put them in long wide mouthed bottles : to half a dozen peaches take a quarter of a pound of sugar -- clarify it, pour it over your peaches, and fill the bottles with brandy, stop them close, and keep them in a close place.
