Pregnancy Friendly Honey-Sweetened Peach Preserves
Sweet, fragrant, and made entirely from ingredients you can feel good about, these peach preserves are a wholesome way to capture peak-season fruit at its best. Fresh peaches are the star, sweetened with honey instead of refined sugar and brightened with a squeeze of real lemon juice — no mystery additives, no artificial preservatives, just clean, simple pantry staples. Ceylon cinnamon and ground ginger add a gentle warmth that makes the whole kitchen smell incredible while the pot simmers away. During pregnancy, store-bought jams can raise eyebrows thanks to long ingredient lists and high sugar loads, so making your own means you know exactly what's going into every spoonful. The slow-cook method coaxes the fruit down into a thick, glossy spread that's deeply peachy and just sweet enough without tipping into candy territory. Spoon it over toast, swirl it into yogurt, or stir it into oatmeal for a breakfast that genuinely feels like a treat. Ladle it into jars and you've got a fridge staple that's as satisfying to make as it is to eat.

- ¼ tsp ground ceylon cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
Instructions

To peel the peaches, score a shallow X on the bottom of each one, lower them into boiling water for 30–45 seconds, then transfer immediately to a bowl of ice water. The skins will slip off easily. Pit and roughly chop the peeled peaches into 1-inch pieces.
