Peach Pineapple Preserves Recipe 355

Steps:

• Bring pineapple and sugar to a boil in a large saucepan and cook 20 minutes, stirring constantly until thickened or until the temperature reaches 220F on a thermometer (this is the jelling stage at sea level).
• Pour immediately into hot sterilized jars; wipe rims with a clean cloth, place lids and screw on bands fingertip-tight.
• Process jars in a water-bath canner for 5 minutes.
• Place jars on a clean towel.
• Cover with towel to prevent drafts and let cool undisturbed for 24 hours.

Steps:

• Peel, pit and large dice peaches. Put cut peaches into water containing ascorbic acid so that peaches won't darken, until all peaches are cut up. Rinse peaches and put into heavy saucepan. Add undrained pineapple, lemon juice, sugar and spices. Bring to a boil, dissolving sugar. Turn head down and cook at a slow boil until preserves are thick and translucent. Remove from heat, removing any foam with a metal spoon. Ladle into hot jars, clean rims, seal. Process in water bath canner for 10 minutes. This recipe yields 5 to 6 pints

Steps:

• Immerse 8 to 10 half-pint jars in simmering water until sauce is ready. Wash lids and rings in warm soapy water. Set aside.
• Combine peaches and pineapple in a large pot. Cook and stir over medium heat until fruit juices are released, 6 to 10 minutes. Add lemon juice, stirring continuously. Add sugar and stir. Add pectin; cook and stir until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
• Pack jam into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw on rings finger-tight.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Crush 1 cup chopped peaches in the bottom of a large saucepan. Add remaining peaches, and set pan over medium-low heat. Bring to a low boil, and cook for about 20 minutes or until peaches become liquid (my family likes a few bits of peach left) .
• Pour peaches into a bowl, and then measure 6 cups back into the pan. Add sugar, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Gradually stir in dry pectin, and boil for 1 minute.
• Remove from heat after 1 minute, and transfer to sterilized jars. Process in hot water bath canner for 10 minutes. Let cool, and place on shelf.

Steps:

• In a large kettle, combine peaches that have been washed, peeled, pitted and chopped with pineapple, lemon juice and cherries.
• Add pectin and mix together.
• Over medium high heat, bring to a boil stirring constantly.
• Add the sugar all at once, mix well and return to a full rolling boil, adding 1/2 tsp butter if needed to reduce foaming.
• When it reaches the full rolling boil, boil for 4 minutes.
• Remove from heat and continue to stir for a couple minutes. If need be, skim foam off the top. Pour into hot jars.
• If needed wipe edge of jars and then put lids and rings on. Get them as tight as you can by hand and turn upside down. Set timer for 5 minutes.
• After 5 minutes, turn right side up and let sit in an area free from drafts until cooled.
• If desired you can water process. Either way if the jar does not seal, put it in the fridge and use it first.
