Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 4 1/2 pounds (2 k) perfectly ripe peaches of the variety you prefer
- 3/4 cup (150 g) sugar
- 1/2 cup white wine or Marsala
- A pinch of powdered cinnamon
Preparation:
What better way to enjoy the joys of summer in the winter? Take your peaches, pit them, and put them to cook in an enamelware pot (aluminum could react with the acidity of the fruit) with the sugar, wine or Marsala, and cinnamon.Cook, stirring often, until the fruit falls apart, then put it through a food mill. Transfer the marmalade to sterile jars, seal them well, boil them briefly in a large pot of water, and then remove them to a rack and let them cool. They'll keep for several months.
