- Take off skins with boiling water. For each pound of fruit allow ½ cupful of sugar and ½ pint of water. When syrup is boiling, put in peaches, a few at a time, and cook until done, but not too soft. Just pierce with straw. 
- Spread on platters to cool. 
- When cool, put in jars and fill up with the syrup mixed with just as much good brandy. 
- Have syrup thick and seal hot.
