I live in the country which brings lots of adventures. For example, looking outside and finding 3 cows. It was pretty funny and reinforced that I really don't want cows.
Around the time of the cow adventure, I decided that I needed to can 2 bushels of peaches. I do have 6 kids who love canned peaches. I can't say I love canning but I do love eating yummy food for the next year. So I ended up with 53 quarts of peaches on the shelves.
As you may notice, the liquid is dark in color. In our family cookbook, my Auntie Maxine added a recipe for sugar free peaches. I do like to limit unnecessary refined sugar and this recipe is a lot easier than using simple syurp. They are not really sugar free but packed in juice, so a bit healthier.
Peaches packed in Juice
Fill clean jars with your peaches. Add 1/4 cup of juice concentrate. Fill the remaining space with water, leave 1/2 inch headspace. Screw on the lid and ring. Process in a hot water bath.
Note: We love to try all sorts of juice flavors. I think apple cherry or apple raspberry is my favorite. Just make sure it is 100 % juice.
