6 cups firm peaches, peeled, seeded and sliced
5 tablespoons Fruit-Fresh
2 quarts water
1/2 cup ginger root cut in 1/4″ strips, 1″ long
1 cup raisins
1-1/4 cups white wine vinegar
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1 large clove garlic (crushed)
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup chopped onion
2 teaspoons salt
Tie up in cheesecloth:
2 tablespoons mustard seeds
1 tablespoon hot red pepper flakes
8-10 cloves
1 stick cinnamon (crushed)
Combine Fruit-Fresh and water. Slice peaches into solution to coat all pieces of fruit. Drain peaches well and combine with remaining ingredients in saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil. Simmer for 15 minutes, covered. Cool and let stand (covered) overnight to plump up fruit and allow flavors to blend. The next day, cook gently for 15 minutes, uncovered. Cool again, stirring occasionally. Bring to boil once again. Discard cheesecloth bag. Pour into sterilized jars, wipe top of jar and seal immediately.
Yield: about 3 pints.
