How to Dey Peaches
The New England Farmer advises selecting ripe peaches, halving them and removing the pits, then filling the hollow with sugar. Dry them in a brick oven after removing bread, retain aroma and flavor, remain insect free, and require no cooking beyond soaking in cold water. Fully ripe fruits yield best flavor, though slightly under ripe with peeled skin is possible with diminished taste.
