quick peach preserves with a kick
I had some left over peaches and knew they would make great preserves. I decided to kick them up with a little spice. These will be great with biscuits, or with grilled chicken or pork. I think I will try them this fall to glaze carrots as well. I think they will even be nice as a topping on vanilla ice cream!

How To Make quick peach preserves with a kick
-
1Chile Patene's or Bird Peppers as some may know them are tiny little peppers that pack a spicy punch! They are tiny as you can see in the picture. I fit the 4 I used on top of 1 peach! Birds apparently love them! My plants are covered in blooms right now - if you're interested, I found the seeds on Burpee.com. http://www.burpee.com/heirloom-seeds-and-plants/heirloom-peppers/pepper-hot-mcmahon-s-bird-pepper-prod001945.html?omn2pd=sh&catId= -
2In a medium bowl combine diced peaches, minced peppers, sugar and lemon juice.
-
3Stir to combine and let stand for 10 minutes.
-
4Add pectin, stirring constantly. Pour into freezer bags, or plastic containers. You can start enjoying this after 30 minutes, or freeze for future use.
