1
Start with our step-by-step canning how-to.

Sterilize four 8-ounce canning jars and lids.

Using a vegetable peeler, remove the zest from the lemons in wide strips, leaving the bitter white pith behind.

Add the zest, wine, sugar, honey, mustard seeds, peppercorns and red pepper flakes.
6
Tie the rosemary and bay leaves together with twine and add to the pan.

Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid thickens and a candy or deep-fry thermometer registers 220 degrees F, about 10 minutes.

Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until the peaches are just tender, about 5 minutes.
