MANGO PEACH APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• Stir in almond extract. Adjust seasoning.
• For stovetop, bring fruit mixture to boil, cover and simmer on low 1 hour or until fruit is very soft. If any fruit chunks remain, *mash with potato masher. (Be sure to remove whole cinnamon stick first.) Stir in almond extract. Adjust seasoning.

PEACH APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• I start out peeling/cutting apples using my apple peeler/slicer/corer device. As I take them off the device, I put them in a bowl, sprinkle lemon juice and fruit fresh. I keep doing this until I have enough to start my batch of applesauce.
• Next I put 2 cans of peaches with their juices, some of the apples and blend in a blender at one of the higher speeds.
• You may not need sugar. I omitted it the last time I made the applesauce.
• Play it by ear also if you think you need water.
• Pour into crockpot or dutch oven.
• Note: I do several different batches, so I'm cooking one batch on the stove in my dutch oven on medium high heat/medium and one in the crock pot. I cook it long enough to be hot enough to pour into canning jars.
• Repeat blending process with what's left of your apples and peaches.
• Pour into crock pot or dutch oven.
• Add vanilla extract, ground ginger.
• Add optional cinnamon. I used my Korintje cinnamon. You'll have to taste it and see if you want to add cinnamon.
• If adding sugar, now's the time to add.
• Meanwhile wash canning jars, lids, and bands.
• Sterilize in hot water bath.
• Then take out a few jars at a time, pour applesauce in jars. Put lids and bands on, screw tight, place in water bath for 25 minutes.
• Take out, make sure lids have sealed by pressing lid. I listen for popping sounds and count. If I come across a jar or two that didn't seal, I'll rebath them or even put in a clean jar with new lid. Read your canning instructions that come with jars.

MANGO-PEACH PRESERVES

Steps:

• Place 1/2 the peaches in a large saucepan and crush until mostly mashed. Add the remaining peaches and mangos. Bring to a boil over medium-low heat. Cook until mostly liquid, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Pour peach-mango mixture into a bowl and measure 5 1/4 cups back into the pan. For a thicker mixture, use only 5 cups. Add sugar to the pan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Gradually stir in pectin and bring back to a boil. Boil for 1 minute; immediately remove from heat.
• Pour preserves into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large canning pot 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 5 minutes.

SPICY AND SWEET MANGO-PEACH SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat peaches, mango, pineapple, triple sec, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and lime juice in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until just boiling.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Add brown sugar, jalapeno, cinnamon, allspice, cayenne pepper, and cloves. Simmer, uncovered, until thickened and somewhat chunky, about 45 minutes; stir occasionally to prevent burning.
