1. Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh?

Prepare the peaches: Wash peaches thoroughly. Blanch in boiling water for 30-60 seconds, then transfer to an ice bath. Peel off the skins.
Slice and pit: Cut peaches in half or smaller slices and remove the pits.
Make the syrup: Combine water and sugar in a large pot, heating until the sugar fully dissolves.
Fill jars: Pack peaches into sterilized jars. Pour hot syrup over the peaches, leaving about ½ inch of headspace. Remove air bubbles.
Seal and process: Wipe jar rims clean, add lids, and place jars in a boiling water canner. Process for 25-30 minutes.
Cool and store: Let jars cool until sealed. Check seals and store in a cool, dark place.

Not recommended for this recipe. Fresh peaches hold their shape and texture better during the canning process.
