Peach preserves are great on fresh bread, or a toasted English muffin, and this Earl Grey tea infused Peach Preserves are so darn good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earl Grey tea has a very distinct flavor and fragrance. It’s got bergamot oil (from the rind of a bergamot orange) in it which makes it bright and citrusy. The fragrance of the tea perfectly mixes with the sweet peaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will take about 40 minutes, that you’ll need to keep a close eye on the pot so your preserves don’t burn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add peach preserves instead of raspberry jam to my Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies<\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use it as a glaze on pork chops, or as a filling in hand pies<\/a> or turnovers.<\/p>\n\n\n

To peel the peaches, either use a blanching\/ice bath method, or peel with a potato peeler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
