- Wiping Peach
As this season’s peaches are ripening, I decided to try for the first time pickling them. The receipt Pickled Peaches (from a manuscript receipt book) stated to Let them lie 12 hours in Salt. I added salt to a quantity of water that would cover the peaches and added salt until the brine was strong enough to bear an Egg. When I took the peaches out of the salt pickle, the peaches were wiped with a Coarse Cloth. This both removed any peach fuzz and salt residue that remained on the peaches. Next steps to follow.

I have never pickled peaches but they are something we had every
Thanksgiving and Christmas when I was young. My mother bought them in jars and I haven’t seen or heard of them since.
