Bring the mixture to a rapid boil, then reduce heat and boil for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Use a wooden spoon to help break down the peaches until the mixture thickens. It’s ready when the peaches stick to the back of a spoon.
Pour the preserves into a large glass jar or smaller jars with sealed lids, and refrigerate. They can be stored for up to 2 months.
