Health and fertility benefits of B & B Peach Conserve

Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly. (Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11506060). Nuts are a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity.

Ingredients

4 pounds peaches
48 large dried apricot halves
2 cups light brown sugar
4 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup slivered angelica
1 cup pistachio nuts, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup B & B liqueur

Instructions

Scald the peaches, discard pits and dice coarsely. Sliver the apricots. Combine peaches, apricots, brown sugar, granulated sugar and cinnamon in a large pot. Cook over high heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until a thermometer registers 220 ° or until the juice has thickened. (It will thicken more as it cools.) Remove from heat, stir in angelica, nuts and B & B. Pour into hot, sterilized jars and seal.
