第一 Japanese Peach-Sake Jam
First, a word about Japanese peaches 白桃 (hakutō): amazing. They are typically about the size of my fist, with pure wine-white flesh and bright pink skin. They are sweeter and juicier than any other peach you may ever taste; eating one usually results in pure ecstasy, accompanied by a vast pool of peach water at your feet. They are well worth the $3 apiece (minimum!) price tag, always a very special summer treat. So what to use as a substitute? Ordinary white peaches will do, but you may want to add more sugar (or maybe honey?) to the recipe. And don’t you dare use yellow peaches or I will hunt you down and kill you.
