I was looking for something new and different to do with a big box of white flesh peaches. Yes, we ate plenty fresh and they were delicious, but you know how I like to try new things in the kitchen.... I was flipping through the pages of my Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving and stumbled upon a recipe for Peach Fondue. Fondue??? With Peaches??? This I had to taste for myself. After making the recipe and canning 6 half pints of it, I got out my fondue pot and served it with some graham cracker sticks and marshmallows. The hint of chocolate and peaches make for a very pleasing favor. Unique, but something that satisfies the sweet tooth in you. I'm thinking this will also taste great spread across a big bowl of ice cream.
So without further adu... here is the recipe for Peach Fondue!
Ingredients:
4 cups chopped, pitted, peeled peaches
4 T. lemon juice
5 1/2 cups sugar
3 oz. pkg. liquid fruit pectin
1/3 cup chocolate liquor
Instructions:
1.) In a large saucepan combine peaches, lemon juice and sugar.
2.) Over high heat, stirring constantly bring to a full boil.
3.) Add pectin and continue stirring for 1 minute.
4.) Stir in chocolate liquor and remove from heat.
5.) Skim off any foam and serve or ladle into sterilized jars to preserve.
6.) Leaving 1/4 inch headspace, apply lids and rings and place in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
Yield: Seven 8 oz. jars.
