Pickled Peaches

In the last few years, I've pickled pears for festival. I nearly bought some pears when I found them cheaply, but then remembered there were still peaches on the tree, so I've pickled them instead! This is 1.8kg peaches done in a sweet/sour pickle, by Pam the Jam's recipe from the River Cottage preserving book.  They might look messy to serve, but if the pears are anything to go by, they should taste nice served with cream and macaroons.

We've proven in previous years that the left over vinegar syrup makes great cordial, and I thought I may as well put the pulp/nectar strained from the syrup, into a jar too. I suppose that might work as a light chutney type thing?




OMG these were tasty! So many flavours. Not to everyone's taste as a sweet, though doushkasmum and I loved them. R suggested serving them with roast pork, which I think is a grand idea.
