Peach And Tangerine Juice Recipes

PEACH PRESERVES

Steps:

• Crush 1 cup chopped peaches in the bottom of a large saucepan. Add remaining peaches, and set pan over medium-low heat. Bring to a low boil, and cook for about 20 minutes or until peaches become liquid (my family likes a few bits of peach left) .
• Pour peaches into a bowl, and then measure 6 cups back into the pan. Add sugar, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Gradually stir in dry pectin, and boil for 1 minute.
• Remove from heat after 1 minute, and transfer to sterilized jars. Process in hot water bath canner for 10 minutes. Let cool, and place on shelf.

CANDIED TANGERINE PEEL

Steps:

• Place the tangerine halves in a large saucepan with enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until the tangerine rinds are tender, about 30 to 45 minutes. (Begin checking the rinds for tenderness about 20 minutes into the process, you don't want them to become mushy.) You'll know they're done when you can scrape away the pith (the white part) easily. Drain the peels and when cool enough to handle, cut into 1/4-inch strips. In the same sauce pan (now empty), combine 1 1/4 cups water with the sugar. Bring to a boil, add the peels, reduce heat to medium, and cook until the peel is translucent, stirring occasionally. Spread the candied peel onto an oiled cooling rack over a cookie sheet and allow to cool and drain. Spread the remaining sugar in a large shallow bowl, or on a cookie sheet. Add the drained peel to the sugar and toss to coat with the sugar, separating the pieces as you do so. Spread the candied peel on a cookie sheet to dry overnight. Store in an airtight container in the freezer or refrigerator.;
