The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

ingredients
8 large fresh peaches, pitted and peeled
1/2 cup crystallized ginger, finely chopped
2 large oranges, unpeeled and cut into wedges, seeds removed
1 cup water
1 package (1 3/4 ounce size) powdered pectin
8 cups sugar
directions
Combine the peaches and ginger in a large bowl. Working in small batches, place the mixture in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Transfer the mixture to a large nonreactive kettle. Place the oranges in the bowl of a food processor and process until finely chopped. Transfer to the kettle and add the water. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Raise the heat and bring to a boil. Stir in the pectin. Bring to a boil again and slowly stir in the sugar. Adjust the heat and simmer, stirring constantly, for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, place a spoonful of jam on a cold plate and refrigerate 10 minutes. If it develops a skin, it is ready. If not, return pot to stove, cook 5 more minutes and test again.
Have ready hot, sterilized 8-ounce jam jars and lids. Pour the hot marmalade into the jars, leaving 1/8 of an inch at the top of the jar. Wipe the rims with a clean, damp towel and screw the lids on tightly. Invert the jars on a clean surface and leave 5 minutes. Turn right side up and cool. Store in a cool, dark place.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

Excellent but I changed a few thingss. 1 cup of ginger, don't expect a strong ginger taste. To 6 cups of puree (4 of peaches 2 of navel oranges) I added 4 cups of sugar. no water no pectin. 2 tsp lemon juice. Boil for 30-40 min. If you don't like using pectin, like myself this is great and tastes amazing.

Great recipe! Made this with home-grown peaches & oranges, but added more ginger and not so much sugar, using 'low-sugar pectin', and it was a big hit with everyone! Getting ready to make more.

Waste of good fruit, don't bother. I had to double the ginger, add juice of two lemons and add cider vinegar to give this any flavor. The 8 cups of sugar had to be a missprint, I only used 3. Also added another half package of pectin.

Easy recipe and turned out good. I think it will be great as a glaze for ham during the holidays. I agree it could use more of the ginger but it's still tasty.

Made this recipe and it was really good. It didn't set as firm as I would like and could use more ginger but overall I would make it again.
