Recipe Instructions

Chunky fruit preserves enliven a plate of cheese and crackers. Or try them with roast pork.

In a large kettle, place peaches and cantaloupe. Simmer 30 minutes, stirring gently to prevent sticking. Add sugar, lemon juice and syrup and boil rapidly until mixture thickens; stir to prevent sticking.

Stir in ginger and pecans and pour into hot sterilized jars. Seal with 2 layers of paraffin.

Cool, cover and store in cool, dry, dark place. Fills about 10 small jars.
