Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until mixture measures 221 degrees on a candy thermometer or falls in sheets from a spoon. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, and crush any large pieces of peach.
• Remove from heat and stir in the pecans. Carefully ladle conserve into hot, sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch head space. Wipe excess conserve from inside and outside rims, then seal.
