Peaches Supreme

"This is another recipe from Barbara Ciletti's "Creative Pickling at Home." Ciletti states, "This recipe blends fresh peaches with crushed raspberries and a touch of nutmeg...As an option, place one peach seed in the bottom of each jar before packing. The flavor will be memorable." They are yummy plain or as a filling in cobblers or crisps. Try to consume them within 6 months for best flavor."

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.

  1. This recipe is not correct. This will make more than 2 quarts. Unless these peaches have a tremendous amount of sugar in them, the amount of sugar is slim for 14 peaches for canning.

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!
