Skim off any foam that has formed on the surface using a spoon.

Note
Storage: Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place for up to one year. Once opened, refrigerate and use within 1-2 months.
Ingredient Substitution: If fresh peaches are unavailable, you can use frozen peaches (thawed and drained) or canned peaches (drained well), though fresh yields the best texture.
Canning Safety: Ensure jars are properly sterilized before use. Follow safe canning practices to prevent spoilage. The high sugar and vinegar content helps preserve the relish.
Serving Suggestions: This relish pairs excellently with roasted pork, grilled chicken, hot dogs, or as a tangy accompaniment to a cheese board with sharp cheddar or goat cheese.
Yield Note: This recipe makes approximately 5 cups of relish, which fills about 5 half-pint jars.
