Origin: Tidewater Virginia

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Slice peaches thin. Make a syrup using sugar equal to half the weight of the peaches. Boil the sliced peaches in this syrup until they turn clear. Lay them on dishes in the sun and turn them until completely dry.
  2. Pack the dried peach slices into pots, sifting powdered sugar over each layer. If syrup remains after the first batch, use it to continue the process with additional peaches.
  3. Note: These are very nice when made with pure honey instead of sugar.
