Pickled peaches are a Southern delicacy that bridge the gap between a side dish and a dessert. They are sweet, tangy, and deeply aromatic, traditionally served alongside a holiday ham, roasted pork, or even a spicy charcuterie board.
The key is to use firm, barely-ripe peaches. If they are too soft, they will turn into jam during the canning process.
