Candied Peaches Recipe (Glazed Peaches in Syrup)
Ingredients:
- 1 kg ripe peaches (peeled and halved, stones removed)
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 ½ cups water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cinnamon stick (optional)
- 2 cloves (optional, for flavor)

Instructions:
- In a large pot, combine sugar and water. Heat gently, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Add the lemon juice, cinnamon stick, and cloves if using. Bring to a gentle boil.
- Add the peeled peach halves into the syrup and reduce heat to low.
- Simmer for 20–30 minutes until the peaches become tender and glossy, absorbing the syrup.
- Remove the peaches carefully and place them in sterilized jars or a serving dish.
- Continue boiling the syrup until it thickens slightly, then pour it over the peaches.
- Let it cool completely before serving or sealing the jars.
Serving Suggestion:
Enjoy candied peaches on their own, with ice cream, or as a topping for cakes and pastries.
