Cling-Stones Sliced

Ingredients

• clingstone peaches
• sugar

Instructions

1. Pare the peaches and cut them in as large slices as possible.
2. Have their weight in sugar.
3. Preserve them as the others: sprinkle the pounded sugar over them as they are put in, let them stand, then put them together with the sugar into the pan, add a little water, and let them remain till thoroughly scalded.
4. Take them out with the ladle, draining off the syrup. Should there not be enough to cover them, add more water, boil it and skim it, return the fruit, and do them gently till quite clear.
