peach preserves

Spread from orchards

Peach preserves are a sweet spread made by cooking peaches with sugar until thick, with chunks of fruit remaining intact—distinguishing them from smoother jams or jellies.

A staple of Southern American cuisine, they appear on biscuits, toast, or as a glaze for meats: Grandma's peach preserves won the county fair ribbon every year.
