Spiced Peach Preserves

Sweet but spiked with a bit of warm spice, these peach preserved will take your toast and biscuits to the next level!

      I think I might be a bit jam, preserve and spread obsessed lately!  This is actually my third peach jam version on the blog so far and that doesn’t include the vanilla peach sauce!  

Who would have thought?  I love making peach jam, it is so easy.  

All it takes is a little bit of acid and the natural pectin already in the peaches.  You just need to give it enough time to do it’s magic.  You can go from fresh or frozen peaches to jam in less than a half hour.

    I wanted to make Kristie’s shower extra special, so there needed to be homemade jams for the biscuits.  I made some blackberry spread from our homegrown berries, but Kristie isn’t usually into things with berries.

 So, I thought I would make some peach preserves too.  But being fall and all, I wanted to warm up the tones a bit.  So a little cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg later and warm slightly spiced peach preserve was born! It was delicious and fun and easy and perfect.
