Peach Preserve

A recipe which may come in handy if you have too many peaches.

Ingredients:

Peach - 2 large ones

Jaggery*- 1/2 cup(powdered)

turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp

chilli powder/flakes - 1/2 tsp

salt a small pinch 

* could replace jaggery with brown sugar or regular sugar

Peel the skin off the peaches by placing them in a pot of boiling water for a minute and then placing them in a bowl of water with ice cubes - Alton Brown way :-) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZSHj0JooQk). His recipe videos are interesting to watch and easy to make.

Chop the peaches into small pieces and cook them in medium heat until softened. Add the jaggery to this along with the spices and salt. Close the container or pan and cook on medium heat until they blend together. Reduce heat and use a hand blender to puree it. Continue to cook it on low heat until it thickens.

Take off heat and store in a glass jar in the refrigerator once cool.
