Sweet and Sour Peach Sauce

1 . Stage

Inspect seven 1/2-pint jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until sauce is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.

2 . Stage

Combine peaches, red onion, bell peppers, pineapple, lime juice, vinegar, tomato, jalapeno peppers, garlic, cilantro, and cumin in a large pot. Stir in pectin until dissolved. Turn heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Add white and brown sugar; stir until completely dissolved. Return to a full rolling boil. Add butter to reduce foaming and boil hard for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.

3 . Stage

Turn off the heat. Ladle jam into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.

4 . Stage

Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.

5 . Stage

Remove the jars from the stockpot and allow lids to seal. If fruit floats to the top of the jars, invert for 5 minutes. Let rest, several inches apart, for 12 to 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.
