What You Need

4 cups prepared fruit (about 11 fresh peaches)

1/2 cup chopped onions

1/2 cup chopped red peppers

4 jalapeño peppers, seeded, finely chopped

1/4 cup finely chopped coriander

2 cloves garlic, minced

1-1/2 tsp. ground cumin

1 tsp. lime zest

1/4 cup white vinegar

3-3/4 cups sugar, divided

1 pkg. Certo Light Pectin Crystals

Make It

PEEL, pit and finely chop peaches; place in large saucepan. Add next 8 ingredients; mix well. Mix 1/4 cup sugar and pectin; stir into peach mixture until blended.

BRING to boil on high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in remaining sugar. Bring to full rolling boil; cook 1 min., stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir 5 min. to prevent ingredients from floating to top, skimming foam as necessary.

POUR immediately into warm sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of rims. Seal while hot with sterilized two-piece lids with new centres. Let stand at room temperature until set.

How to Measure Precisely

To get exact level cup measures of granulated sugar, spoon sugar into dry metal or plastic measuring cup, then level by scraping excess sugar from top of cup with a straight-edged knife. Measure total amount of sugar into separate bowl before using as directed.

Keeping it Safe

After jars cool, check seals by pressing middles of lids with finger. (If lids spring back, lids are not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.)

Serving Suggestion

Serve brushed over grilled chicken or pork.
