The peaches and cranberries in this recipe combine to add a lovely bit of color to a dinner party table – and spicy good taste as well.
1 can (16 ounces) cling peach slices
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup raspberry vinegar
1 teaspoon whole cloves
1 cinnamon stick
2 cups fresh cranberries
Drain peaches, reserving 3/4 cup of the syrup. Combine the reserved syrup, sugar, and vinegar in a saucepan. Make bouquet garni (little cheesecloth bag) of cloves and cinnamon stick and add to saucepan. Bring to a boil. Remove bouquet garni and add cranberries to peach mixture. Again bring to boil. Cook over medium high heat for about 5 minutes or until skins pop. Do not stir during this time. Remove from heat and add peaches. Cool and keep covered in refrigerator until ready to serve.
