(from The Kitchen Directory, and American Housewife, by Anne Howe, 1841)
Ingredients:
inferior or not fully ripe peaches
3/4 lb. brown sugar per lb. of peaches
Instructions:
Inferior peaches, and those that are not fully ripe, are best preserved in the following manner; Pare and halve them, and take out the stones - lay the peaches in a deep dish, and to each layer of peaches put a layer of brown sugar. Three-quarters of a pound of sugar to a pound of the peaches is sufficient. Let the peaches remain until the next day - then put them on a moderate fire, without any water, and let them stew slowly about twenty minutes. Peaches preserved in this way, are very nice for puffs.
