Ingredients
- 5 cups chopped peaches
- 3 cups sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- ¾ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon yellow curry powder
- 1 tablespoon butter optional
- 1 teaspoon Fruit-Fresh optional
- 1 package Low Sugar Sure-Jell pink box
Instructions
- Take each peach and with a sharp knife cut an X into the bottom of the peach at the tip. Place the peaches in boiling water for about 1 minute.
- Remove from the water and immediately plunge the peaches into an ice bath to stop the cooking. Then carefully remove the peel, pit and chop the peaches finely.
- Measure out exactly 5 cups.
- Place jars, rings and lids into a pan, cover with water, bring to a boil and boil for three minutes to sterlilize, keep warm.
- In a heavy stock pot, place the chopped peaches, lemon juice, ginger, curry, salt, fruit fresh (if using) and butter. Mix everything together well.
- Measure ¼ cup of sugar and mix it with the contents of the Sure-Jell. Sprinkle it into the peaches, mix well again and set it on the stove on high and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
- When it comes to a hard boil (a hard boil is one you can't stir down with spoon) add the remaining sugar.
- Continue stirring constantly and return it to a boil and when it comes back to a hard boil, continue boiling it for exactly one minute. (Set a timer to make sure you get it for a full minute).
- Remove from the stove & immediately ladle into sterilized jars. Place lids on jars, screw on tightly. Process in a hot bath (boiling water) for 10 minutes to seal the jars.
- Makes 4-5 eight oz. jars.
