    1 To make a spice bag, use a piece of muslin or cut a small circle out of an old clean tea towel. In the bag, place whole allspice, mixed spice, cloves and coriander seeds. Tie with string. Bash a few times with the rolling pin to bruise the spices.

    2 Dissolve sugar in water and vinegar. Add spice bag, star anise and cinnamon. Simmer for 10 minutes.

    3 While syrup is simmering, peel peaches. Cook them in syrup for about 3 minutes, or until just tender. 

    4 Bottle peaches in hot syrup.

    Variations

    You can also include cinnamon and star anise in preserve if you wish.
