The early white peaches usually arrive from Spain just as the first elders are coming into blossom. This jam is an extravagance unless there happens to be a glut of white peaches, even though I stretch it by using a good old Bramley, which has excellent setting qualities.

Ingredients

  • 1 kg/2 lb white peaches
  • 1 large Bramley apple

Method

Have your clean jars heating in the oven while you prepare the fruit. Peel and core the apple, and dice very small. Halve the peaches, discarding their stones, and chop the fruit very finely. There is no need to remove the skin. Put the apple in a saucepan with 150–200 ml/
