In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, cinnamon sticks, and cloves, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 25 minutes.


In a large pot, boil 4 pint size canning jars, 4 canning jar lids and 4 canning jar rings, to sterilize. Boil for 3 minutes. Turn off heat, and remove lids and rings from pot and place on a clean towel or paper towels. Keep jars in water until ready to use.


Wash and peel peaches. Cut in halves and remove pits. Remove jars from water and fill with peach halves.


Strain the water/sugar mixture, removing cloves and cinnamon sticks, but saving the rest (the syrup). Pour enough syrup into each jar of peaches so that it fills the jar to within 1/2 inch of the top. Wipe rims of jars with a clean, damp cloth or paper towel to remove any spilled syrup. (This is very important; it will help make sure that the jars seal properly.) Place lids and rings on jars and tighten rings.


Place jars in boiling water bath (canner or large pot filled with enough water to cover jars), and boil for 20 minutes. Turn off heat and remove jars from canner, placing on clean towel until they cool. Lids will *pop* when they are sealed.


This will make spiced peaches, like the ones Miss Katherine made in the movie "Holes". If you want a sploosh more like the kind Zero found (Miss Katherine's spiced peaches 150 years later!), you can crush or puree the peaches after peeling and pitting them, add them to the syrup while it's simmering, then fill the jars with the mixture all at once.
