All Jammed Up!
 
Went out to the orchards in Brentwood this past weekend. Picked 50
pounds of peaches and 25 pounds of nectarines. Unfortunately we were too
late for cherries and apricots. Got busy and made a total of 10 cases of
the following:

Peach Jam
Nectarine Jam
Peach-Strawberry Jam
Nectarine-Peach Jam
Honey-Lime Peach Jam
Peach-Blueberry Jam
Nectarine-Mango Jam
Peach-Mango Jam
Mango-Peach Chutney

Still a ton of peaches left over and a fair amount of nectarines - I see
peach pies, peach ice cream and nectarine sorbet in my very-near future.

Life is good!

Oh, I was indeed exhausted! But it was well worth all the effort, and I'm
glad I did it.

Glad to hear you're back to work, even if it is only half time. One step
at a time - don't overdo it. If half time is too much, maybe do 1/4 or
1/3 time - listen to your body. It will tell you what it's capable of.

Not *that* Brentwood (though I used to live not far from there in North
Babylon). This Brentwood is out past the Altamont Pass - about 100 miles
from San Francisco.

Kay Hartman has posted a great peach ice cream recipe here some years
ago. A Google search should turn it up. The sorbet sounds yummy, too.

I sort of winged it on this one...someone in another newsgroup said she
made some and when I asked for a recipe, she said "I just followed the
recipe in the pectin box for peach jam, added some lime zest and added
honey to taste" so I pretty much did the same. I added the juice of half
a lime, the zest of a whole lime and about a quarter cup of honey to a
batch that produced (6) 8 ounce jars. I liked it so much I made a second
batch so that we'd have plenty, for eating as well as gifts.

Thanks. The honey aspect sounds interesting. Did I mention the half
bushel of peaches I'm looking at? :-) . . . . . I love lime in jams
-- I often use it instead of or in combination with lemon juice

Check in at rec.food.preserving.

Peach Honey and Pear Honey are southr'n things, I think -- at least
that's my recollection of where I learned about them. Some recipes have
you boil the peelings from the fruit to get the 'stuff' to work with.
That's always sounded gross to me so I use pureed fruit instead. While
for fruit butter I drain the fruit before milling, for the honeys I
don't. And I use equal parts of fruit puree and sugar for the honeys.
Cook until thickened - thicker than syrup.

I googled for this post of mine from 1998 in r.f.preserving:

Subject: Peach Honey *
Newsgroups: rec.food.preserving
Date: 1998/08/20

12 ripe peaches
1 orange
Sugar

Peel and crush the peaches. Grind the orange in a food grinder.
Combine. Measure volume and add an equal measure of sugar. Cook until
thickened -- like honey. Recipe said 20 minutes but I don't think that
comes close.

OK, that was the recipe. Here's what I did: Halved it because those
were the last of the peaches. (Used half an orange, rind and all). Ran
the peeled peaches through the fp with the coarse grater blade -- I
liked that. These were Colorado peaches and they held their shred very
nicely. In the interest of less sugar, I used only 3 cups of sugar to
4 cups shredded peaches. Wound up adding the last cup of sugar to it
-- tasted better and helped the consistency considerably. They don't
call it honey for nothing. Did I mention the *few* drops of vanilla
and almond at the end? That, too. (Pity they don't have a "Fruit
Honey" lot at my State Fair. I'm still grumpy because they bagged the
fruit butter category a year or two ago. Harruummmmph!)
Jarred, sealed, BWB'd for 10 minutes.
Oh, my.

Do a google advanced groups search on rec.food.preserving for "peach
honey" and "Melba's Jammin'" as the author. There are several
discussions there going back to maybe 1998. I've done it with Amaretto
included, too; sweet spices wouldn't hurt it, either.
