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.
