Bet Bet's Pickled Peaches

I don’t have a lot of patience and I don’t like time consuming tasks but I love canning, pickling, jams, jellies, and relishes. I need plenty of time and space to creat a cathartic experience in my kitchen. I have a real feeling of accomplishment when I look at rows of glistening jars I labored over.

I made this recipe one time many years ago with my Grandmother who I called Bet Bet. I sat in a rocking chair in her living room peeling peaches while we watched the Braves! It was her Mother’s recipe. I never knew my Great Grandmother but I grew up hearing stories about Mammy’s in Vidette, Ga.
