Peaches,ripe Light brown sugar 1. Peel peaches, discarding pits. Mash fruit thoroughly. Measure. Add 1-3/4 cups light brown sugar, packed down, to each 2 cups of peach pulp. Set over very low heat until sugar has dissolved and peaches have released some of their juice. Bring to boiling, then reduce heat and let simmer, stirring very frequently to prevent scorching, for about 30 minutes, or until mixture is thick and clear. Seal in hot sterilized jars. 2.
