I need recipes for preserves - peach, tomato, strawberry - any and all with natural ingredients, please!?
Here's a few links and recipes:





Grape Juice Preserves





1/2 cup unsweetened grape juice


1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice


2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin


1/2 cup cold water


Bring grape juice and lemon juice to boil; reduce heat and simmer for 4 minutes.


While simmering, soak gelatin in cold water until dissolved.


Remove juice from heat.


Add gelatin to hot grape juice; mix well.


When cool, pour into small sterilized containers and refrigerate.


Makes 1 1/2 to 2 cups.





I haven't tried this recipe. It's all I could get with no sugar. It came from this site: http://www.recipegoldmine.com/nosugaradd...





And these are kinda neat:





Pepper Jelly





Hot peppers have become a popular garden item. This jelly is a safe and delicious way to preserve them--it's excellent with cream cheese and crackers. However, take caution and wear rubber gloves when handling hot peppers. Sweet peppers may be substituted for hot peppers, if desired.





4 or 5 hot peppers, cored and cut in pieces


4 sweet green peppers, cored and cut in pieces


1 cup white vinegar


5 cups sugar


1 pouch (1/2 bottle) liquid pectin


Green food coloring





Yields 5 half-pint jars





Sterilize canning jars. Put half the peppers and half the vinegar into blender container; cover and process at liquify until pepper is liquified. Repeat with remaining peppers and vinegar. Combine liquified peppers, sugar, and vinegar in a large saucepot and boil slowly for 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Add liquid pectin and boil hard 1 minute. Skim and add a few drops of green food coloring. Pour jelly immediately into hot canning jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe jar rims and adjust lids. Process 5 minutes in a boiling water bath.


Pear-Apple Jam





2 cups peeled, cored and finely chopped pears (about 2 pounds)


1 cup peeled, cored, and finely chopped apples


1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon


6 1/2 cups sugar


1/3 cup bottled lemon juice


1 pouch liquid pectin





Yields 7 or 8 half-pint jars





Sterilize canning jars. Crush apples and pears in a large saucepan. Stir in cinnamon. Thoroughly mix sugar and lemon juice with fruits and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Immediately stir in pectin. Bring to a full rolling boil and boil hard 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; quickly skim off foam. Pour jam immediately into hot jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe jar rims and adjust lids. Process 5 minutes in a boiling water bath.
