Black-Boy Peach Jam
Dear Aunt Daisy, I wonder can your Daisy Chain help me? I would very much like a good reliable recipe for "Black-Boy Peach Jam" with bananas. This is my recipe — much too stiff but a delicious flayour: Three pounds peaches (weighed before preparing), 1 Ib. bananas (weighed after preparing), 3 Ibs. sugar, 2 large lemons. Peel and stone peaches, cut into small pieces; squeeze juice from lemons and add to fruit. Add bananas sliced thinly and cover with 3 Ibs. sugar. Raise heat slowly, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Bring to boil and boil fast for ¥ hour. You will note that there is no water. I must say how much I enjoy your pages in The Listener and always have 4 chuckle at the very apt sketches accompanying your recipes. I shall be so graterae
ful for your help in this case. Kind wishes to you, cheerful Aunt Daisy.Mrs. L. T., Collingwood. Well, it is over to the Daisy Chain! I’ve never made up the Black-Boy peaches, but imagine you would use the same method as for any other peaches. The bananas are a bit dry and I think you should add water at your discretion, about % cup to each pound.
