- 3 1/2 cups sugar
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 4 jalapeños, seeded and diced

- Skim off any foam sitting on top of the mixture and discard. Press a piece of parchment paper directly on the peaches. Cover and chill 4-6 hours.
- After the mixture has rested, strain the liquid from the peaches. Remove and discard the rosemary.
- Return the liquid to the pan and bring to a boil. Boil until the temperature registers 220-225 degrees.
- Add strained peaches and jalapeños back to the liquid and continue to boil for 5 minutes.
