Ingredients:
- 3 parts light rum
- 2/3 part pineapple
- 1/2 part maraschino cherry
- 2 parts lime juice
- 3/4 part sugar
- 1/4 – 1/2 part salt
- 3 parts ginger
- 6 1/2 parts peaches
- 1/2 part mace
Instructions:
-
Prepare Orange Mixture: In a small saucepan, combine orange peel and pulp with just enough water to cover. Cook until the peel is tender, then set aside.
-
-
Warm Rum: Place the opened container of rum in hot water to warm it up, then set aside.
-
Combine Ingredients: In a large saucepot, combine the reserved orange mixture with peaches, pineapple, maraschino cherries, and lime juice.
-
Add Sugar and Spices: Stir in sugar and spices (salt, ginger, and mace) until the sugar dissolves completely.
-
Cook Until Thickened: Cook the mixture almost to the gelling point, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. As it thickens, keep a close eye on it to achieve the desired consistency.
-
Incorporate Rum: Once the mixture has thickened, remove it from the heat and stir in the warm rum. This step adds a delightful hint of rum flavor to the conserve.
-
Fill Jars: Ladle the hot conserve into hot sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4-inch of headspace at the top.
-
Cap and Process: Adjust two-piece caps onto the jars and process them for 15 minutes in a boiling-water canner. This step ensures proper sealing and preservation of the conserve.
-
Cool and Seal: After processing, remove the jars from the boiling-water canner and cover them with a dry towel. Allow the jars to stand until the caps seal and the contents cool down.
