Time 40m

Yield 6 pints

Number Of Ingredients 3

12 cups mixed fruit (I used peaches, pears, and green grapes)
1½ cups honey
6 cups water

Steps:

  • Peel peaches and pears and cut into large pieces.
  • Soak in a lemon juice/water combination if desired to reduce color change (optional).
  • In a large pot, combine honey and water. Bring to a boil, stirring until well combined.
  • Reduce heat to a simmer.
  • Drain fruit and add to syrup mixture. Continue simmering until fruit is heated through.
  • Spoon fruit into clean pint jars.
  • Fill each jar with the hot syrup leaving ½ inch head space.
  • Remove the bubbles (I use the handle of a rubber spatula, but there is an actual tool for this process. Just don't use anything metal).
  • Wipe the tops of the jars with a damp paper towel, and cover with two-piece caps. Process in a water bath for 20 minutes.
  • Makes 6 pints with some syrup left over (use it for another batch or to make sorbet or to sweeten iced tea).
