- 2 (14-ounce) cans peach halves in syrup
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or white wine vinegar
- 2 short sticks cinnamon
- 1 1/2-inch piece ginger, peeled and sliced thinly into rounds
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed dried chili flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or 1/4 teaspoon table salt
- 1/4 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
- 3 whole cloves
Directions
Empty the cans of peaches into a saucepan with their syrup. Add the vinegar, cinnamon, sliced ginger, chiles, salt, whole peppercorns and cloves. Bring the pan to the boil, and let boil for a minute or so then turn off the heat and leave it in the pan to keep warm.
Serve the peaches with a hot ham letting people take a peach half and some of the spiced juice. Any leftovers can (and should) be stored in a jar and refrigerated and then eaten cold with cold ham.
