Peach Maple Pecan ConservePeach Maple Pecan ConservePeach Maple Pecan Conserve

For those who know me Maple is my least favorite flavor along with raisins. My sisters peach tree is so full I’m trying to figure out creative ways to make jams using different flavors. I noticed a bag of pecans in the pantry and remembered how much she loves the homemade Maple Walnut and Pecan Praline Syrups that I make. Why not combine those flavors for a tasty jam using Peaches… and so that is just what I made!
