1 kg Peaches; quartered or 300g. dried peaches, sliced
Good pinch of Krokos Greek red saffron
1/2 ts Cayenne pepper
Directions
Step #1 Peel, apricots, ginger, vinegar, sultanas, salt, core & chop the apples & place this in a large saucepan with the peaches, bay leaves, sugar, cinnamon sticks, cayenne pepper & saffron.
Step #2 Bring to the boil then & let simmer vigorously for 30 mins, stirring frequently to stop the fruit burning (be careful when stirring as the mixture tends to splatter a little).
Step #3 When the mixture has thickened & looks syrupy, turn off the heat and allow this to cool slightly.
Step #4 Remove the cinnamon sticks & bay leaves and bottle in sterile glass jars & seal.
Step #5 Store at cool room temperature for up to 12 months.
Step #6 Note: Any other stone fruits can be substituted for the peaches - plums & nectarines work very well.
