How is it that I've never made peach preserves before?? These are divine! In fact, they are so good that I made a second batch for gift giving. These will be perfect for hostess gifts or holiday gifts for neighbors, teachers, friends, etc. This recipe kicks off my homemade holiday gift series. I hope you'll give these a try!

xoxo,
Carter
