½ cup water

¾ cup raw brown sugar

2 tablespoons honey

Bring everything but the peaches to slow boil and boil for 5 minutes.

Peel peaches, cut in half, remove pit, and add lemon juice to peaches. Add peaches to brine and stew for 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off heat and let cool for 10 minutes.

Place peaches and brine in clean jars, then place in refrigerator.
