Best Ginger Peach Butter Recipes

GINGER-PEACH JAM

Steps:

• Bring peaches, ginger, and pectin to a boil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the sugar and butter; cook and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Return to a boil, stirring constantly for 1 minute more. Remove from heat, and skim off any foam with a spoon.
• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the peach jam into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

GINGER PEACH CRUMBLE AND BUTTERED PECAN TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Add the peaches to a large high-sided saute pan with the vanilla, 3 tablespoons of the brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of the ginger. Cook over medium-high heat until the peaches start to defrost and soften and the sugar starts to melt, about 5 minutes. Pour the peach mixture into a 9-inch deep-dish baking dish and set aside to cool.
• In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade, mix together the whole-wheat flour, salt, remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar and 2 teaspoons ginger. Add the cold butter to the food processor and process until it starts to come together to form a dough. Add the pecans and oats and pulse just until the pecans are roughly chopped.
• Crumble the crumb topping onto the peaches, coating them completely. Bake until the peaches are tender and the crumble is golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes.
• Serve the crumble with vanilla ice cream and spoon over the Buttered Pecan Ice Cream Topping.
• In a small saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, corn syrup and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is melted and the mixture becomes thick and syrupy, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the pecans, then remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Let cool slightly.
