    Recipe Introduction


    original recipe from Gladys Olson

    List of Ingredients




    3 lbs fully ripe peaches
    2 tbl fresh lemon juice
    1 tsp fruit protector (optional)
    1/2 tsp ground allspice
    1/2 tsp cinnamon
    1/2 tsp cloves
    5 1/2 cups sugar
    1 box fruit pectin
    1/2 tsp cf margarine

    Recipe



    Method :

    Peel, pit and finely chop peaches. Measure 4 cups into 6- or 8 quart sauce pot. Stir in lemon juice, fruit protector and spices. Measure sugar into separate bowl. (Scrape excess sugar from cup with spatula to level for exact measure.) Stir fruit pectin into fruit in sauce
    pot. Add margarine. Bring to full rolling boil on high heat, stirring constantly. Quickly stir in all sugar. Return to full rolling boil and boil exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly.

    Remove from heat. Skim off any foam with metal spoon. Ladle quickly into hot sterilized jars, filling to within 1/8-inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with two piece lids. Screw bands tightly. Invert jars 5 minutes, then turn upright. After jars are cool, check
    seals. Or follow water bath method recommended by USDA.

    This recipe yields about 7 half-pint jars.

    Note from BL: I do this with nectarines instead of peaches. Generally there is no need to peel nectarines and the skins add a hint of reddish colour as well as some fibre.
