Another fantastic recipe from my upstairs neighbor, who likes to raid my fruit trees, and always gives me the wonderful things she makes with that fruit. I love to use this jam poured over chicken pieces in a crock pot, or covered in the oven. Ingredients:
3 lbs peaches (about 6 cups) |
3 cups granulated sugar |
3 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger |
2 teaspoons lemon juice |
1/4 teaspoon allspice |
Directions:
1. Place the peaches in boiling water for 1 minute, or until the skins loosen.
2. Then plunge them in ice water.
3. Slip off the skins, halve the fruit and remove the pits.
4. Cut the peaches into 1 inch pieces.
5. In a large, non-reactive pot, mix the peaches, sugar, ginger, lemon juice and allspice.
6. Simmer over medium heat for 30 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and mounds on the spoon.
7. Ladle into jars and store in the fridge for up to 2 months.
