Brilliantly colored peach tomato jam is a sweet jam combining two summer favorites spiced for fall. A great transitional jam to bring the last of your summer produce into the fall with you!

¼cupapple cider vinegar

2cinnamon sticks
1teaspoonground roasted gingeror regular
6whole allspice berries
Instructions
Place all your ingredients in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and heat to boiling.
Cook until all the fruit is very soft.Run the mixture through a food mill, discarding the skins and any bits of allspice berries. Hold onto the cinnamon sticks. Don't forget to scrape down the underside of your food mill to get all the pulp that will inevitably accumulate there.
Put everything back into the pot and continue cooking at a medium boil until the temperature reaches 220F. Stir often so it doesn't stick.
Pour into a pitcher (or use a canning funnel) and then fill clean jars with the mixture. Allow it to cool and store in the fridge for 3-4 weeks.
Notes
To make an even sweeter jam, you can use up to 1 1/2 pounds of sugar, or about 3 cups. You may substitute lemon juice for the red wine vinegar if you prefer. I like the bite of the red wine vinegar, especially with a jam I wanted to read more as a fall-type jam.The jam will keep in the fridge for a good 3-4 weeks, especially if you use the larger amount of sugar. For longer storage, you may freeze it for up to 6 months.
