  Wash and drain peaches.  Cut into halves, pit and peel. Treat to
  prevent darkening.  Cook a few peaches at a time in water until
  heated through. Drain.  Pack hot into hot jars, leaving 1/2 inch head
  space. Heat apple juice and pour over peaches, leaving 1/2 inch head
  space. Remove air bubbles.  Adjust caps.

  MY NOTE:  The original recipe called for 2 1/2 cups apple juice -
  should be about 2 1/2 quarts (because 3 pounds of peaches required
  about 2 1/2 cups of juice). I cut the peaches in slices and made 7
  half-pint jars. Heated slices of about 4 peaches at a time for 1
  minute in the microwave, and heated the apple juice about 3/4 cup at
  a time in the microwave in a 2 cup measure.
