Peach-Pepper Preserves

By Lady Butterfly

A delicious Peach-Pepper Preserve. Tastes great with Coconut fried shrimp, chicken quesadillas, or ham and fontina panini. Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 4 1/2 cups peaches, peeled and diced (about 2 1/2 pounds.)
• 1 jalapeño pepper, minced
• 1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1 (1 3/4 ounces.) package powdered fruit pectin

Preparation

Step 1

Stir together all ingredients in a 4 quart microwave-safe glass bowl.

Microwave at HIGH 8 minutes (mixture will boil). Stir mixture, and microwave at HIGH 8 to 10 minutes or until thickened. (You're going for the viscosity of pancake syrup here. The mixture will thicken to soft-set preserves after it cools and chills.)

Cool mixture completely (about 2 hours). Serve immediately, or cover and chill preserves in an airtight container until ready to serve.

Store in refrigerator up to 3 weeks.
