Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5 and butter a non-stick 23cm ring tin. Arrange the peaches, cut side up, in the base if the tin, then randomly spoon in the peach conserve and scatter over the redcurrants.
• To make the cake, beat together the flour, baking powder, butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla and milk until well mixed, then stir in the sour cream. Spoon the mixture into the cake tin, then level the surface.
• Bake for 35-40 mins until the cake is well risen, golden, and springs back when lightly pressed. Cool for a few mins, then carefully turn out onto a plate. You can serve warm with cream as a dessert or cold as a cake.

Steps:

• I start out peeling/cutting apples using my apple peeler/slicer/corer device. As I take them off the device, I put them in a bowl, sprinkle lemon juice and fruit fresh. I keep doing this until I have enough to start my batch of applesauce.
• Next I put 2 cans of peaches with their juices, some of the apples and blend in a blender at one of the higher speeds.
• You may not need sugar. I omitted it the last time I made the applesauce.
• Play it by ear also if you think you need water.
• Pour into crockpot or dutch oven.
• Note: I do several different batches, so I'm cooking one batch on the stove in my dutch oven on medium high heat/medium and one in the crock pot. I cook it long enough to be hot enough to pour into canning jars.
• Repeat blending process with what's left of your apples and peaches.
• Pour into crock pot or dutch oven.
• Add vanilla extract, ground ginger.
• Add optional cinnamon. I used my Korintje cinnamon. You'll have to taste it and see if you want to add cinnamon.
• If adding sugar, now's the time to add.
• Meanwhile wash canning jars, lids, and bands.
• Sterilize in hot water bath.
• Then take out a few jars at a time, pour applesauce in jars. Put lids and bands on, screw tight, place in water bath for 25 minutes.
• Take out, make sure lids have sealed by pressing lid. I listen for popping sounds and count. If I come across a jar or two that didn't seal, I'll rebath them or even put in a clean jar with new lid. Read your canning instructions that come with jars.

Steps:

• Put all ingredients into the blender and process until silky and smooth.
• Pour into glasses and garnish with a peach wedge, find a quiet corner and enjoy.
