My great-great-great grandmother made this recipe, and the tradition has continued down to MY mother, who, well, made this recipe as well. This is almost an "antique" recipe and is well-known all throughout the Appalachian Mountains.
This recipe is along the same historical lines as true home-made hominy, pickled beans, kraut, leather-britches (line-dried green beansand pickled corn. These foods were made in the classic tradition before canning and freezing food was even thought about. Foods of this nature served my ancestors well.
These pickled peaches, made with this recipe, are not going to be exactly sweet or sour; they're both. They're a delightful treat best enjoyed on a cold winter evening, especially when one is recovering from a cold. For some reason, children love them!

Now I know what evil tastes like.
I went peach picking with the family and just had way too many peaches.
So I tried this little recipe. At first I was skeptical but once I tried it I found all my worst fears had been realized.
