Canning peaches or any fruit is pretty easy. Peaches can be skinned just like tomatoes. They don’t even have to be skinned, but they seem to be a little better if they are. Just get a pot of water boiling. Put the peaches in a wire basket and leave them in the boiling water for one to one and half minutes. Pull them out and dump them in a bowl of ice water. Our wire basket only held five or six peaches, so it took a while to do ½ bushel.
When the peaches are cool enough to handle just rub the skin off, cut the peaches in half and remove the pit. Cut the peach halves into crescents. If you were freezing them you could just put them in a freezer bag, with or without sugar, at this point. For canning, stuff them in the jars and pour hot simple syrup over them.
Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes and “voila”. It may be possible to can peaches with a sugar substitute. I will research that and let you know.
