Cook Time: 2 hrs

Ready Time: 10 hrs


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