15 10 25

Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 ounces) sliced peaches in extra-light syrup
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 3 cinnamon sticks (3 inches)
  • 12 whole cloves
  • 3 cups boiling water
  • 4 packages (.3 ounce each) sugar-free orange gelatin
  • 2 cups cold water
  • Sugar substitute equivalent to 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans

Directions

  • Drain peaches, reserving syrup; set peaches aside. In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, cinnamon sticks, cloves and reserved syrup. Bring to a boil; cook until reduced to about 1/2 cup. Strain, discarding cinnamon and cloves.
  • Add boiling water to syrup mixture; stir in gelatin until dissolved. Stir in the cold water and sugar substitute. Refrigerate until slightly thickened, about 35 minutes.
  • Coarsely chop the peaches. Stir peaches and pecans into gelatin mixture. Transfer to a 6-cup ring mold coated with cooking spray (mold will be full). Refrigerate for 3-4 hours or until firm. Unmold onto a serving plate. Yield: 10 servings.
