Instructions: Put peelings in medium-size saucepan, cover with water and cook slowly, covered, until soft. Then put through a cheesecloth bag and press to remove all the juice.

Measure juice and return to saucepan to heat. When juice boils vigorously, add sugar at the rate of half as much sugar as juice (2 cups sugar to 4 cups juice). Boil rapidly until the consistency of honey. Pour into hot jars, leaving 1/4-inch head space. Wipe jar rims and adjust lids. Process 5 minutes in a boiling water bath.

NOTES : Dont let a bit of that fruit go to waste. Save all washed, sound pieces and peelings from fruit used for preserves and make fruit honey. Peach or pear peelings and overripe or misshapen strawberries make a delicious honey to drizzle on pancakes or waffles.
