Begin by preparing your canning jars and lids. Wash them thoroughly in hot, soapy water, rinse, and sterilize them by boiling in a large pot of water for at least 10 minutes. Let them air dry on a clean towel.
To prepare the peaches, blanch them in boiling water for 1 minute and then transfer them to an ice water bath. Gently peel off the skins, remove the pits, and puree the peaches in a food processor or blender until smooth. You’ll need 8 cups of pureed peaches.
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the peach puree, granulated sugar, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and ground ginger. Stir well to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 45-60 minutes until the mixture thickens to your preferred consistency for a fondue-style sauce. Stir occasionally.
Once thickened, stir in the vanilla extract and remove the saucepan from heat.
Ladle the hot peach fondue mixture into the prepared sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch of headspace at the top. Use a clean damp cloth to wipe the rims of the jars to ensure a proper seal.
Place the sterilized lids on the jars and secure them with rings until just finger-tight.
Process the jars in a boiling water canner for 15 minutes, making sure the jars are fully submerged and covered with at least 1-2 inches of water. Adjust for altitude as needed.
Carefully remove the jars from the canner and place them on a clean, dry towel. Let them cool undisturbed for 12-24 hours. Check that the lids have sealed (the center of the lid should not pop up when pressed).
Store the sealed jars in a cool, dark place for up to one year. Refrigerate any jars that did not seal properly and use within a month.
