Bonnie's Jams Peach Ginger

Bonnie's Jams Peach Ginger pairs stone fruit with fresh spice. Expect the soft, honeyed sweetness of cooked peach with a warm, peppery ginger bite running through it. Jams built on this combination usually keep the ginger noticeable at the finish rather than burying it, which makes this a spread to use where its flavor can show. On toast, a plain English muffin or a buttery biscuit, the ginger tends to read more clearly than it does on sweeter breads. It also works well as a counterpoint to rich, salty foods. Spoon it beside a wedge of sharp cheddar, a creamy brie or a tangy goat cheese on a board, or use it as a glaze base for roast pork, chicken thighs or ham. Thin it with a splash of warm water or vinegar and brush it on near the end of cooking so the sugars brown without scorching. For baking and breakfast, swirl it into plain yogurt or oatmeal, or use it as the filling for thumbprint cookies, hand pies or a layered sponge. A spoonful stirred into a vinaigrette or a pan sauce adds fruit and a little heat. Once opened, jams like this are normally kept in the refrigerator with the lid tightly closed.
