(reduced-sugar) Peach-pineapple Spread

Biblical prophecy provides some of the greatest encouragement and hope available to us today. Just as the Old Testament is saturated with prophecies concerning Christ’s first advent, so both testaments are filled with references to the second coming of Christ. One scholar has estimated that there are 1,845 references to Christ’s second coming in the Old Testament, where 17 books give it prominence. In the 260 chapters of the New Testament, there are 318 references to the second advent of Christ – an amazing 1 out of every 30 verses. Twenty-three of the 27 New Testament books refer to this great event. For every prophecy in the Bible concerning Christ’s first advent, there are 8 which look forward to His second!

INSTRUCTIONS

This recipe may be made with any combination of peaches, nectarines,
apricots, and plums.  This recipe may be made without sugar or with up
to 2 cups, according  to taste or preference. Non-nutritive sweeteners
may be added. If  aspartame (a low-calorie nutritive sweetener) is
used, the sweetening  power of aspartame may be lost within 3 to 4
weeks.  Yield: 5 to 6 half-pints  Procedure: Thoroughly wash 4 to 6
pounds of firm, ripe peaches. Drain  well. Peel and remove pits. Grind
fruit flesh with a medium or coarse  blade, or crush with a fork (do
not use a blender). Place ground or  crushed fruit in a 2-quart
saucepan. Heat slowly to release juice,  stirring constantly, until
fruit is tender. Place cooked fruit in a  jelly bag or strainer lined
with four layers of cheesecloth. Allow  juice to drip about 15 minutes.
Save the juice for jelly or other  uses. Measure 4 cups of drained
fruit pulp for making spread. Combine  the 4 cups of pulp, pineapple,
and lemon juice in a 4-quart saucepan.  Add up to 2 cups of sugar, if
desired, and mix well. Heat and boil  gently for 10 to 15 minutes,
stirring enough to prevent sticking.  Fill jars quickly, leaving
1/4-inch headspace.  Adjust lids and process as recommended in Table 1.
