Introduction

Summer heat brings out the juiciest peaches and the hottest peppers. The combination is fantastic - sweet and succulent with a present, but subtle heat in the background. This preserve makes a fantastic topper on a burger with old Cheddar, Swiss or even Gouda, and the original creator, Rebecca Lindamood, uses it to make a to-die-for sauce for chicken. I’d love to use it to top turkey meatloaf before baking as a glaze! Summer heat brings out the juiciest peaches and the hottest peppers.
