INGREDIENTS
| 4 | c | Drained peach pulp* |
| 2 | c | Drained unsweetened crushed pineapple |
| 1/4 | c | Bottled lemon juice |
| 1 | c | Sugar; (you can eliminate the sugar altogether, it tastes a little tart, but is still yummy) |
INSTRUCTIONS
Place drained, cooked peaches, drained crushed pineapple, lemon juice and sugar (if using) in 4-qt. saucepan. Mix well to dissolve sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil to desired thickness, 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching. To freeze jam: Remove from heat. Continue to stir about 2 minutes. Pour into freezer containers, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Seal. Chill in refrigerator, then store in freezer. Keep in refrigerator after opening. To can jam: Pour boiling hot jam into clean hot pint or half-pint canning jars to 1/4-inch from top of jar. Seal and process in boiling water bath, 15 minutes for half-pint jars or 20 minutes for pint jars. Cool and store in cool dry, dark place. After opening, store in refrigerator. (Freezing a low or no sugar jam retains the color better than if you can it. If you are going to use a little artificial sweetener, it needs to be added after cooking, and should only be used with a freezer jam.) *For drained peach pulp: Wash and prepare fruit. Remove pits, stems and seeds, and peel. Cut or chop fruit in a processor or mash with a fork. Cook the fruit in a pan for a few minutes to release the juices -- be careful not to overheat or burn. Pour fruit into a jelly bag (or cheesecloth) and let the juice drain for 15 minutes. (You can save the juice for jelly or for fruit juice.) Measure the solid fruit to use for making jams with little or no sugar. Posted to fatfree digest by ReddHedd@aol.com on Sep 28, 1998, converted by MM_Buster v2.0l.
A Message from our Provider:
“A cheerful spirit is one of the most valuable gifts ever bestowed upon humanity by a kind Creator. It is the sweetest and most fragrant flower of the Spirit, that constantly sends out its beauty and fragrance, and blesses everything within its reach. It will sustain the soul in the darkest and most dreary places of this world. It will hold in check the demons of despair, and stifle the power of discouragement and hopelessness. It is the brightest star that ever cast its radiance over the darkened soul, and one that seldom sets in the gloom of morbid fancies and forboding imaginations.”
