Mrs Brydges To Preserve Peaches in Brandy

Pour boiling water on your peaches Let 'em lye till
they will peel, and as you peel 'em throw 'em into cold
water. Then drain 'em and put 'em into a syrup made
pretty thick and let 'em boil 5 or 6 times up, Then
take 'em out and cover 'em in a pan very close and boil
your syrup again. scum it well and pour it on your
peaches let 'em stand till next day. Then drain the
syrup clean from them, and boil it pretty thick
let it stand till cold. Then put the same quantity
of brandy as syrup mix it all well together put
the peaches into glass jarrs to lay easy, and pour the
syrup upon them. Tye them over with a bladder

It must be a pound of sugar to a pint of water and
it must be spring water for the syrup
