Peaches Supreme
- Ready In:
- 1hr 10mins
- Ingredients:
- 5
- Yields:
-
2 quarts
ingredients
- 12 -14 unblemished peaches (any good canning variety)
- 1 cup fresh raspberry, crushed
- 1 1⁄2 cups sugar
- 1 cup white wine vinegar
- 1⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg
directions
- Wash and drain the peaches.
- Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Place the peaches in a wire basket, and dip them into the boiling water (or use a slotted spoon). Allow the peaches to stay in the pot for 2 minutes. Remove the basket, plunge the peaches inot a pan or sink of ice water, then drain.
- When the peaches are cool enough to handle, slip off the outer skins, cut in half and remove the pits. Place the peach halves in a colander and rinse quickly. Set peaches aside to drain while preparing the pickling solution.
- In a medium saucepan, bring the raspberries, sugar, wine vinegar, and nutmeg to a boil. Allow the mixture to bubble for 2--3 minutes. Lower the heat while packing the peaches, but remember to keep the liquid very hot.
- Gently spoon the peaches into hot, sterilized canning jars (with an optional cleaned and blanched peach seed). Pour the hot raspberry liquid over the fruit, leaving 1/2 inch head space.
- Release the air bubbles. Clean the rims of the jars.
- Add the lids (follow manufacturer's instructions) and rings and tighten only fingertip tight.
- Process in a hot-water bath for 25 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool in a draft-free area before storing.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live in a small (but growing to be very large) town in Oklahoma. I am currently a student, studying library science. I like to cook and eat, play the piano and violin, and train and play with my two dogs. I don't have a single favorite cookbook, but of the ones I use, I like BHG the most. Their recipes are usually very good. I would say my passion is learning new things--and traveling to new places. I also enjoy writing fiction. Some of my pet peeves are: 99% of the drivers in Oklahoma; people who don't take good care of their pets; people with NO TASTE; intellectual psychobabble nonsense; boring people; the list goes on forever!
