 Categories: Canning, Fruits
      Yield: 5 Half-pints
 
      4 c  Drained peach pulp
           --(procedure as below)
      2 c  Drained crushed pineapple
           --(unsweetened)
    1/4 c  Bottled lemon juice
      2 c  Sugar (optional)
 
  This recipe may be made with any combination of peaches, nectarines,
  apricots, and plums.
  
  This recipe may be made without sugar or with up to 2 cups, according
  to taste or preference. Non-nutritive sweeteners may be added. If
  aspartame (a low-calorie nutritive sweetener) is used, the sweetening
  power of aspartame may be lost within 3 to 4 weeks.
  
  Yield: 5 to 6 half-pints
  
  Procedure: Thoroughly wash 4 to 6 pounds of firm, ripe peaches. Drain
  well. Peel and remove pits. Grind fruit flesh with a medium or coarse
  blade, or crush with a fork (do not use a blender). Place ground or
  crushed fruit in a 2-quart saucepan. Heat slowly to release juice,
  stirring constantly, until fruit is tender. Place cooked fruit in a
  jelly bag or strainer lined with four layers of cheesecloth. Allow
  juice to drip about 15 minutes. Save the juice for jelly or other
  uses. Measure 4 cups of drained fruit pulp for making spread. Combine
  the 4 cups of pulp, pineapple, and lemon juice in a 4-quart saucepan.
  Add up to 2 cups of sugar, if desired, and mix well. Heat and boil
  gently for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring enough to prevent sticking.
  Fill jars quickly, leaving 1/4-inch headspace.
  
  Adjust lids and process as recommended in Table 1.
