i really just have to do this...just so you know.
as i've been sitting at my computer reading and rounding-up throughout the week i have been singing this pretty much non-stop.
i mean all these sweet and juicy peaches and nectarines!
can you blame me?
and it's not like i'd kick any plump little plums out of my kitchen either.

jams, jellies & conserves
imperial stone fruit preserves - put a lid on it

local peach loco jam - backyard farms
i love that it's all local! maple syrup, peaches, chiles...wow! (ever think about growing your own citrus?) :)
nectarine jam - what julia ate
a straight up nectarine jam with a spot of pectin for good measure. i do agree, nectarines have there own special charm.
nectarine pear & chile jam - local kitchen
this is torture. (meaning i need some, now!)
peach blackberry jam - wine book girl
i find mixed fruit jam very intriguing. do the individual fruit tastes remain as they do in a mixed fruit pie?
peach & blueberry ginger jam - show food chef
show me the food! i am not kidding. my mouth just watered at your first photo. that jam, that biscuit!
peach-plum ginger jam - food in jars
the ginger juice addition sounds lovely. and i hear you on the summer canning urgency. it's suppose to be s-l-o-w food! ;)
peach or apricot jam - family & food
i think there is nothing smarter than jamming something you know you & your family like. a basic fruit jam recipe that's tried and true i say!
peach preserves - market life sf
another sound recipe for simple and beautiful peach preserves (you don't really need to do much to them, do you?) ...and she did this too, which looks to me like it really was worth the work!
peach preserves with brown sugar and spiced rum - cafe libby
if this sounds good to you - hurry on over to libby's blog - 'cause she's giving away a jar! but you better do it by oct 1st!

peach vanilla marmalade - flamingo musings
i don't know...are mangoes stone fruits? (well in the end, it looks like you didn't miss them!)

plum conserve - toronto tasting notes
a true conserve! this looks awesome sarah. and as fine a christmas present as i could ever imagine!
plum jam with almond - mock paper scissors
this jam does sound lovely. and so is that story about madame, and her plum cake must be delicious!
plum jam with bay and vanilla - café del manolo
plum & bay, a nice combo if i do say so myself. but homemade vanilla! you just knocked it outta the park in my book! (and i LOVE the the flavor bible
)plum jam with tonka bean - prospect: the pantry
i am completely intrigued. i have never heard of tonka beans, but the way you describe their flavor makes me want to find a source, pronto! and peeps, you gotta check out this too!
plum noir jam - tigress in a jam
...it was a dark and windy jam. and oh, so good! it's the fennel peeps! (ok, and the bay, and the black pepper, and the cardamom...don't forget the cardamom!)

peaches and spice and everything nice, that's what this jam is made of.

chutney
peach chutney - doris and jilly cook
goat, i am so happy you revealed the dark side of canning. we really need to consider humanely treating are jarred fruit! ...particularly when they look this delicious!
peach chutney - sugarcrafter
and peach pie filling, plums in syrup and plum butter. you people are not only putting up, you are putting me to shame!
plum chutney - my caffiene diary
yes those look like romas to me. (i have a roma tree but it doesn't produce anymore). ok, so about those hard skins, cook the plums until the skins soften (10 min. or so) and then add the sugar. it helps immensely.

sauces & salsas
garlic plum sauce - locally preserved
this looks very versatile indeed. and trust me i feel for you northwesterners and your lack of summer. that was us here in the northeast last year. sunny times will come again!
peach barbecue sauce - the kitchenette
...and to think, we all knew you before you heard your first lid pop. and now you're giving us this!
roasted hatch peach salsa - stetted
you had me at the roasted peach...of course the balsamic, cilantro and hatch peppers didn't hurt. bring on the chips!
spicy peach salsa - grow & resist
i love when can jammers are inspiring other can jammers! (and great tip about the freezing whole peaches - thanks!)
zesty peach barbecue sauce - just the right size
do you think it would be good on tofu?

canned peaches - knit and knosh
another basic canned peach recipe - but you have to look up the recipe yourself in the good 'ole ball blue.

how sweet it is! ...these look divine. (and i am so happy you made it through the tornado unscathed!)

i am absolutely sure this is a crowd pleaser (especially this crowd) peaches poached with booze. ahem.
plum & blueberry compote in calvados syrup - laundry, etc.
sounds like you live in plum heaven! this compote looks glorious! and those jars, gloria oh, those jars!
preserved peach slices with maderia - well preserved

now go out and rake some leaves or something! (and put 'em in your garden while you're at it, they're good for it!)
bye!
Yes, reading is fundamental! I take your little bit of scolding with lots of love.
ReplyDeleteUm, that video got the first hearty laugh of the day. And, apparently, a quizzical look from my neighbor, The VillageHeartThrob.
Super-excited to dig in to all the awesome stone fruit-ness in, yet, another bountiful roundup. I just hope to not find any peaches at the market today. Cause, really, it's a joke to try to get them in a jar.

The peaches that Wine Book Girl and I canned were Elbertas from Masumoto Farms peach tree adoption program: a friend of a friend organized a group to adopt a tree and when I was asked if I wanted to join I jumped on it. http://www.masumoto.com/public/adoption.htm The thing about Elbertas is that the entire tree ripens over a period of about 10 days and, once ripe, the peaches have a shelf life of only a day or two before going moldy. So, they are perfect peaches for preserving. It also means that they are not a good commercial peach since they are so delicate, hence the peach tree adoption program. The day before out canning extravaganza I went to the farm in Fresno and picked peaches. The Masumoto family showed us how to size, the proper way to pack, and did a peach performance.
ReplyDeleteIn addition to the blackberry peach jam we also canned traditional peach jam, peach bbq sauce, and oven-baked peach relish. We have become fond of canning recipes that start with cooking in the oven - discovered last year during cranberry canning - since it frees up limited stove space or, more accurately, allows us to try out one more recipe even when the stove is already full of pots.
Really Tigress? Sir Mix A Lot? I've had the Presidents of the United States of America in my head:

Millions of peaches, peaches for me... I thought that would be the video. :) Thanks so much for all of the fantastic links!
ReplyDeleteAnother good month Tigress. I just got a copy of Rachel Saunders' Blue Chair Jam Cookbook. Have you seen it? She's a Bay Area phenom, kinda retro but all there on the fruit front. I'm astonished at the heft of the book, but it's chock full of interesting ideas, techniques etc. Not a whisper (so far) of water bath canning since she relies on the jars to do it for themselves. (She sells her jams at farmers markets and specialty stores I assume so she knows her craft.) I'd try lots of recipes from the collection but they'd go into my canner pronto.
ReplyDeleteI also did a Plum Butter - check it out...

Ok, I can't blame you for singing the song all weekend but I can blame you for the last half hour of Sir-Mix-A-Lot, once I clicked on yours I just couldn't stop myself! Thanks for the break!
ReplyDeleteYuummmmm! Thanks again, Tigress. I really can't believe it's almost a year. Wow. What's going to happen when it's over? I'll be so sad...Sniff.
ReplyDeleteI've been so looking forward to this roundup. It'll be bookmarked for sure, along with last month's tomatoes.
ReplyDeleteMy contribution is Peach Jam with Pineapple Sage.
Thanks, Tigress!
Stone fruit--my favorite! So excited for all of these recipes.
ReplyDeleteI made plum chutney--read all about it here:
http://thebestpickle.blogspot.com/2010/09/bonus-recipe-plum-chutney.html
So so so behind! But at least it's still September! Cherries frozen in the spring finally became pie filling for this month's jam. As usual everything else looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteI just discovered your blog. I actaully canned peaches last month and was THRILLED with a recipe I made up. It's peach lime jam, totally delicious. I also made Martha Stewart's rosemary peach jam while I was at it (we went to a peach and apple orchard and loaded up). Come check out my recipe...
