To make the syrup, combine sugar and water in a pan, bring to a
boil, and cook until sugar dissolves; keep hot.

darkening. Drain fruit and pack firmly into hot jars, cavity sides
down. Pour in about 1/4 c. hot sugar syrup. Pour 3 to 4 tB brandy
over fruit (the amount depends on preference for a moderate or
strong liqueur flavor). Add enough syrup to fill jars to within
1/2" of top. Process jars for 20 minutes. makes 6 pints.
To prevent fruit from darkening: After you drop unpeeled fruit
into boiling water for 2 minutes, remove and place in a large bowl
of ice water with 2 TB each of salt and vinegar (to one gallon of
water). Peel will come off easily after a minute or two. You do
not have to rinse fruit off before placing in jars.
