Peach Preserve

Wash the peaches by gently scrubbing their skin

Cut each one in half lengthwise, inserting the knife up to the pit

With both hands, spin one half to each side; one of them will come loose

Using a fork or a knife, remove the pit from the other half

In a large saucepan, bring the peaches, sugar, and water to high heat

Let it boil until the fruits are tender and the skins have separated (approximately 10 minutes)

Remove from heat, transfer to a bowl, and use two spoons to remove any loose skins

Wait for it to cool and serve at room temperature or store in the refrigerator in a covered container until serving
