Honey Peach Thyme Glaze

I saved a few peaches back to try a  new recipe and was very happy with how it turned out.

This glaze is sweetened with honey instead of white sugar and the thyme perfectly compliments the other flavors.   I'm thinking this would be fabulous on a slow roasted pork shoulder cut.  Mmmm.

4 cups peach chunks
2 sprigs thyme
extra water if necessary so the fruit doesn't stick
4 tablespoons low sugar pectin
1 cup honey

Heat the peaches, thyme, pectin and water to a full rolling boil that can't be stirred down.  Boil hard for one minute.  Add honey.  Return to full rolling boil. Boil hard for one minute.  Remove thyme sprigs.

Ladle into clean jars and cover with clean lids and rings.  


Note:  I left the peaches in chunks, but if you want a smoother consistency, you can puree the peaches before you start.

Happy glazing!

Bee on Thyme Flowers

I can't remember which thyme this is - french, I think, but the bees found it as soon as it bloomed and every day I see a few on it. 

The bees also like the horehound flowers.    And I expect they'll be all over the lavender. 

UPDATE:  I see bees on the horehound all the time.   I have not seen a single bee on the now flowering lavender.   I'm surprised.

Note:  This pic was way better before blogger did its thing to it.   I'd say blogger cuts the pic quality by a good 20-30%.  I've noticed it before.  I wonder what the deal is.
