Don’t worry, I still have to think about what to call it. And in truth, this recipe can go either way, ginger peach preserve or conserve. Here’s tips on how to accurately label your creation:

• Jam – crushed fruits preserved with sugar – granulated or natural sugars, such as, honey or maple syrup.
• Preserve – Whole or pieced cooked fruit suspended in a sweet syrup. Preserves may also contain herbs, spices, wine, or boozy beverages.
• Conserve – Contains a combination of two or more fruits which are cooked in sugar and may contain dried fruit, nuts, or even herbs. Conserves are generally served alongside of cheeses, meats, crackers, or bread.

Canning Ginger Peach Conserve

1. Wipe jar rims with a clean dampened towel. Add warmed lids, screw the rings to fingertip tight.
2. Using a steam or hot water bath canner, process jars for based on correct altitude.

Notes:

1. Serve the ginger peach conserve over ice-cream, pound cake, and even angle food cake. However, over goat cheese with pancetta and dry salami is definitely the way to go.
2. Dehydrate the reserved skins and grind to powder. Peach powder can be used to flavor oatmeal, pancakes, cakes and other pastries.

Since I’m sharing my favorite summertime fruit, I might as well add this cherry salsa recipe. Why? Because it’s truly amazing. That’s all. And you’re welcome.

The processing time is the same whether you are using a hot waterbath or steam canner. However, the benefits of a steam canner is that it processes the jars using steam and two-inches of water.

Another great peach recipe is a homemade peach cobbler which is served over ice-cream. Or cake. Or eating as is!
