Peach Pineapple Conserve |
I am about the only one in our family that likes it so I am making it only for me and for some gifts. I love orange marmalade and I love peaches and pineapple. This preserve is the best of both worlds and is very easy to make.
Peach Pineapple Conserve
2 1/2 cups chopped fresh peaches
1 cup canned pineapple chunks, cut up (I have substituted 1 cup crushed pineapple that has been well drained with equal results)
2 cups sugar
Juice and rind of 1 orange
Heat water in a canner to boiling. Wash the peaches. Dip each peach in hot water in order to easily remove the peels. Yes, I use the water that is boiling in the canner. Chop the peaches to measure 2 1/2 cups. Mix peaches, pineapple and sugar; add grated orange rind and juice. Slowly bring to a boil, stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves; cook rapidly until thick and clear; about 20 minutes, stirring frequently. Pour boiling hot into sterilized jars and seal. Place in canner and process for 5 minutes. Remove and make sure the jars seal.
This yields approximately 4 - 8 oz. jars of preserves.
I have never found anything like this in a store. Peaches are super cheap now and I always have pineapple in my pantry. This recipe is fairly cheap to make. You don't need any pectin to add to it which also keeps the expense down.
I have given jars of these preserves as Christmas gifts and everyone is always surprised by the flavor of this preserve.

Sounds absolutely delicious, all my favourite kinds of fruit, but peaches are not in season right now in Oz. So I,ll keep this recipe until Summer.
