Peach Blueberry Preserves Recipes

Steps:

• Immerse 8 pint jars in simmering water until jam is ready. Wash lids and rings in warm soapy water.

• Add blueberries to the pot with the peaches and cook until thickened to the consistency of jam, about 10 minutes more. Remove from heat, add butter and almond extract, and stir well.
• Pack jam into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. Start by sterilizing jars and lids. This takes a little while, so I start this 1st. I place my clean jars in my canner and cover with hot water. Bring this to a boil and boil for at least 10 minutes. Remove jars when ready to use. Pour some of the boiling water from jars back into canner and keep the water boiling so you will be ready to process jars of jam. In another small pot; sterilize lids in gently boiling water.
• 2. Prepare fruit; chop fine. I used my food processer and it works great for chopping fruit. Just don't liquify the fruit. A little juice won't hurt. I hand peeled my peaches but you can remove the skin the same way you would remove skin from tomatoe by dropping a few at a time into boiling water for 2 minutes and then in cold water. The skin should come right off. I chopped the peaches fine and the blueberries coarse. By freezing the blueberries first will help keep from liquifying the fruit when you chop it.
• 3. Add the blueberries peaches, lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon and butter to large pot (Butter helps reduce foaming). Over a medium high heat bring fruit mixture to a rolling boil. A rolling boil is a boil that you can not stir down with a spoon. Continue to boil fruit mixture 4 minute once it reaches a rolling boil, stirring continuously.
