Ingredients

• 1 cup raisins
• 4 cups packed brown sugar
• ½ cup chopped onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• 1 tablespoon mustard seed
• 1 ½ tablespoons chili powder
• ¼ cup pickling spice
• 4 pounds sliced peeled peaches
• 5 ounces chopped preserved ginger
• 4 cups apple cider vinegar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

In a large heavy pot, stir together the peaches, raisins, garlic, onion, preserved ginger, chili powder, mustard seed, curry powder, brown sugar and cider vinegar. Wrap the pickling spice in a cheesecloth bag, and place in the pot.

Step 2

Bring to a boil, and cook over medium heat uncovered until the mixture reaches your desired consistency. It will take about 1 1/2 hours to get a good thick sauce. Stir frequently to prevent scorching on the bottom.

Step 3

Remove the spice bag, and ladle into hot sterilized jars. Wipe the rims with a clean moist cloth. Seal with lids and rings, and process in a barely simmering water bath for 10 minutes, or the time recommended by your local extension for your area. The water should cover the jars completely.
