Peach & Orange Conserve
Peach & Orange Conserve
Conserves look just like jam and they have the same consistency, except they take it up a notch or two. A Conserve is made with a combination of fruits, including citrus, nuts and/or raisins. Conserves are excellent paired with meat and poultry dishes, and also very good as a topping for desserts –or just on a good biscuit. This is one of my favorite conserve recipes.
Ingredients
- Peach and Orange Conserve Recipe
- Ingredients:
- 1 large orange – chopped (including peel)
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon fresh squeeze lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- 5 cups chopped (peeled peaches (about 6 large))
- 4 cups white sugar
- ½ cup slivered almonds
Instructions
- Wash orange and chop finely, discarding seeds. I chop mine in my food processor.
- Place orange in a large heavy pot with the water and simmer, covered, over low heat until soft – about 20 minutes.
- Add lemon juice, peaches and sugar and stir well
- Over high heat bring peach mixture to a boil.
- Reduce heat and cook, uncovered to a steady simmer until the mixture thickens and the peaches turn translucent. Will take about 45 minutes. Be sure to stir often and reduce heat if needed to prevent sticking.
- During the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the slivered almonds.
- Remove from heat and skim off foam if needed.
- Fill hot sterilized canning jars and seal with prepared lids.
- Processing in Boiling Water Bath for 5 minutes.
Makes about 6 half pint jars
