Instructions

  1. 1 Place peaches in a glass or plastic container with a lid; immediately stir in lemon juice to prevent browning. Stir in sugar and ginger until well combined. Cover the bowl; set aside in a cool place, 8 hours to overnight.
  2. 2 Inspect 5 half-pint jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until jam is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
  3. 3 Transfer peaches and all accumulated liquid to a large pot; stir in pectin and slowly bring mixture to a full rolling boil that does not stop bubbling when stirred. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. 4 Off heat, stir in amaretto liqueur.
  5. 5 Pack hot jam into the prepared jars, filling to within ¼ inch of tops. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around insides of jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and tightly screw on rings.
  6. 6 Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water; bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.
  7. 7 Remove jars from the stockpot; place on a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart. Rest for 24 hours without moving. Gently press center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 Mix chopped pears with sugar, crystallized ginger, lemon juice, fresh ginger, and lemon zest in a large heavy pot; let the mixture stand for 2 hours for pears to release their juice.
  3. 3 Place the pot over medium-high heat, bring to a boil; cook, stirring often, until preserves are thick and fall off a metal spoon in sheets, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Pear pieces will be translucent and preserves will be darkened.
  4. 4 Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes.
  5. 5 Pack the pear preserves into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
  6. 6 Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
  7. 7 Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

  2. 2 Combine apples, pears, vinegar, sugar, cherries, onion, lemon, mustard seeds, salt, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and cloves in a wide, nonreactive 4-quart pot over high heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; simmer gently, stirring often, until mixture is thickened and a spoon drug through leaves a trail that doesn't fill in immediately, about 1 hour. Stir every minute or so toward the end of cooking to prevent scorching.
  3. 3 Pack chutney into hot, sterilized jars using a wide-mouth funnel, filling to within ½ inch of tops. Run a clean wooden chopstick around insides of jars to remove any air bubbles; add more chutney if necessary to bring level to ½ inch of tops. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
  4. 4 Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes. Turn off heat, uncover pot, and let jars stand in cooling water for 5 minutes to help ensure a good vacuum seal.
  5. 5 Transfer jars from stockpot to a folded kitchen towel or wooden cutting board to cool and let rest, several inches apart to cool completely. Press centers of lids with a finger to ensure lids do not move up or down. Any unsealed jars should be refrigerated and eaten promptly. Remove rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

Instructions

  1. 1 Divide the ginger in half, and chop half into cubes; shred the other half with a box grater or in a food processor using the shredding blade. Total ginger should equal 3 cups. Place the ginger into a large saucepan with water over medium heat, bring to a boil, and reduce heat to a simmer. Cover the pot, and simmer the ginger until tender, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Add more water if needed to keep mixture from drying out. Pour the cooked ginger into a fine-mesh strainer, drain, and retain 1/2 cup of the ginger-flavored water. Place the cooked ginger in a bowl with the retained liquid, and cool at least 4 hours or overnight in refrigerator.
  2. 2 When ginger is thoroughly cooled, place into a large, heavy-bottomed pot, and stir in the sugar; bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in the pouch of liquid pectin, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook for 7 more minutes, skimming foam from top of marmalade.
  3. 3 Sterilize the canning jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the marmalade into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue.
