    1 c. firmly packed light brown sugar
    3/4 c. seedless raisins
    3/4 c. honey

    1/4 tsp. mace

Preparation
    Pour boiling water over peaches; let stand until skins can be easily removed.
    Dip in cold water; peel.
    Remove pits and red fibers; cut into chunks.
    Place immediately in vinegar-water to prevent browning.

    Simmer 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
    Remove spice bag.
    Continue simmering while quickly packing one clean hot jar at a time.
    Fill to within 1/2-inch of top, making sure syrup covers fruit.
    Seal each jar at once. Process 5 minutes in boiling water bath.
    Makes 4 to 5 half pints.
