How to Make Peach Rum Preserves T R L

  1. In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, rum, sugar, and lemon juice. Gently toss to ensure the peaches are evenly coated.
  2. Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight to allow the peaches to macerate and release their juices.
  3. The next day, transfer the peach mixture to a large, heavy-bottomed pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for approximately 40-45 minutes, or until the preserves have thickened to your desired consistency. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
  5. Remove from heat and skim off any foam that has formed on the surface.
  6. Ladle the hot preserves into sterilized half-pint jars, leaving about 1/4 inch headspace.
  7. Wipe the rims of the jars clean, place lids and rings on top, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude).
  8. Remove jars from the water bath and let them cool completely. You should hear a satisfying 'pop' sound as the jars seal.
  9. Once completely cool, check the seals to ensure they are airtight. Store in a cool, dark place for up to a year.
