Chunky Peach Spread
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Cook: 10 min. + cooling
YIELD: about 3-1/2 cups.
Here's a fruit spread that captures the best tastes of late summer. I like that it's low in sugar and not overly sweet, which lets the fresh peach flavor shine right through. — Rebecca Baird, Salt Lake City, Utah
Ingredients
-
7 medium peaches (2 to 2-1/2 pounds)
-
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
-
1/4 cup cold water
-
1/3 cup sugar
-
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
-
1.
Fill a large saucepan two-thirds full with water; bring to a boil. Cut a shallow “X” on the bottom of each peach. Using tongs, place peaches, a few at a time, in boiling water 30-60 seconds or just until skin at the “X” begins to loosen. Remove peaches and immediately drop into ice water. Pull off skins with tip of a knife; discard skins. Chop peaches.

Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes. Add gelatin mixture; cook 1 minute longer, stirring until gelatin is completely dissolved. Cool 10 minutes.
