Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (peeled, pitted, and diced) Ripe peaches
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Dark rum
- 1 cup (chopped and toasted) Pecans (optional)
Instructions
1. Prepare the peaches by peeling, pitting, and dicing them into small pieces. Measure out 4 cups of diced peaches and place them in a large pot.
2. Add the granulated sugar, orange zest, and lemon juice to the pot. Stir well to combine and let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the peaches to release their juices.
3. Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
4. Reduce the heat to low and continue simmering for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the peaches are soft. Use the back of a spoon or a potato masher to gently break down the peaches if you prefer a smoother texture.
5. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the dark rum. If using toasted pecans, add them now and stir to combine.
6. Allow the conserve to cool slightly before transferring it to sterilized glass jars. Seal the jars tightly and let them cool completely at room temperature.
7. Store the Peach Conserve with Rum in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or process the jars in a water bath canner for longer shelf life. Serve on toast, pancakes, yogurt, or as a topping for desserts.
