Read the following paragraph.

Kate Barlow preserved peaches which lasted for years, and you can
too if you follow these few simple steps. First check the jars for cracks
or chips. Second place the lids in boiling water to sterilize. While the
lids boil, wash the jars and rings in hot, soapy water. Next place the
boiling hot peaches and syrup into the hot, sterilized jars. As soon as
the jar is full within a half inch of headspace wipe the rim of the jar
clean. Immediately cap the jar with the hot lid. Next place the jar in
a steamer. After steaming for twenty minutes remove the jar from the
steam bath. Once the jar has cooled you can store it until needed. The
peaches will stay fresh for several years.
