Author Notes
Peaches and nectarines go so well with allspice, cloves and cinnamon. But what makes this jam so over the top is the addition of pieces of candied ginger. They melt into the jam and add that "oh my God what is in this" touch to the recipe. Perfect with biscuits, English muffins or with St Andre cheese and a crusty baguette. —Feeding Groom
