Hi there,

If the jars are properly sterile, how long would you say the peaches will keep?

Thanks for the lovely recipe!

Hi Maria-I struggle to eat fruit too when it isn’t sweet and the fruit in London wasn’t very sweet I found so this was the best thing to do with it Thankyou!

I’ve never received a gift like this before.. it’s one that I’d love. I struggle to eat fruit..but I buy tinned peaches now and again.

Your creation is beautiful

Hi pea & pear-Thanks! It feels surprisingly good peeling a peach when the skin eases off so easily I became obsessed with capturing their colour, it was so pretty!

Hi Carolyn-They were really juicy but not that sweet, so I thought that they needed some sweetening

Hi Sharon-Your lucky friends! Perhaps some strategically placed hints are in order? Hehe you know my trips involve food, food and more food

Hi grace-I gave some to my husband who doth protested that he wasn’t the recipient of the big jar

Hi Angela-Vanilla and wine, interesting! Sounds gorgeous

They look gorgeous! Funnily enough, I poached some peaches the other day with vanilla and wine. They were amazing, so I can very easily imagine how yours would taste
