Cranberry Ginger And Peach Preserves Recipes

Steps:

• Combine cranberries, white sugar, turbinado sugar, water, orange zest, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, allspice, and pepper in a large pot over medium heat. Simmer, stirring frequently, until sugar dissolves and cranberries pop, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Blend cranberry jam into desired consistency using an immersion blender.
• Pour jam into a glass pint jar; cool until thickened and set, about 1 hour. Seal jar and refrigerate.

Steps:

• Put cranberries, sugar, ginger, and 2 cups water into a medium saucepan. Cover, and bring to a simmer; cook, stirring occasionally, until berries are soft, about 10 minutes. Pour through a sieve into a medium bowl; discard solids.
• Meanwhile, put 1/2 cup cold water into a bowl; sprinkle with gelatin. Let soften 5 minutes. Add cranberry mixture; stir until gelatin has dissolved. Refrigerate, covered, at least 4 hours (up to 1 week).

Steps:

• Stir sugar and 1 cup water in heavy medium saucepan over high heat until sugar dissolves and syrup comes to a boil.
• Add cranberries; return mixture to a boil.
• Reduce heat to medium; simmer until cranberries burst and sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes.
• Remove from heat. Stir in ginger; let stand 5 minutes.
• Mix in peaches. Cool.
• Chill at least 2 hours and up to 3 days. Freezes well in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
• Makes about 3 cups.
• Note: Time does not include chill time.

Steps:

• Bring peaches, ginger, and pectin to a boil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the sugar and butter; cook and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Return to a boil, stirring constantly for 1 minute more. Remove from heat, and skim off any foam with a spoon.
• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the peach jam into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

Steps:

• Stir sugar and 1 cup water in heavy medium saucepan over high heat until sugar dissolves and syrup comes to boil. Add cranberries; return mixture to boil. Reduce heat to medium; simmer until cranberries burst and sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Mix in ginger; let stand 5 minutes. Mix in peaches. Cool. Chill at least 2 hours and up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Combine cranberries, diced pear, orange juice, sugar, water, candied ginger, orange zest, star anise, cinnamon stick, garam masala, and salt in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to boil, reduce heat to medium, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until cranberries have softened, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
• Remove cinnamon stick and star anise. Chill until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Bring boiling-water canner, half full with water, to simmer. Wash jars and screw bands in hot soapy water; rinse with warm water. Pour boiling water over flat lids in saucepan off the heat. Let stand in hot water until ready to use. Drain jars well before filling.
• Measure juice into 6- or 8-qt. saucepot. Stir in pectin. Add butter to reduce foaming. Bring mixture to full rolling boil (a boil that doesn't stop bubbling when stirred) on high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in sugar. Return to full rolling boil and boil exactly 1 min., stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.
• Ladle immediately into prepared jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with two-piece lids. Screw bands tightly. Place jars on elevated rack in canner. Lower rack into canner. (Water must cover jars by 1 to 2 inches. Add boiling water, if necessary.) Cover; bring water to gentle boil. Process 5 min. Remove jars and place upright on a towel to cool completely. After jars cool, check seals by pressing middles of lids with finger. (If lids spring back, lids are not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.)

Steps:

• Peel, chop and crush peaches in layers.
• Place into a glass or ceramic bowl with sugar and lemon juice. Let stand for about an hour.
• Place into stainless steel or enamal pot and cook on high. After 15 minutes add the ginger. Cook a further 15 minutes or until a drop of the liquid does not run like syrup down a tilted plate.
• Place into sterilized jars.
