Voici une recette que j’adore faire au quotidien. Un petit passe partout qui se consomme tant avec des plats salés que sucrés. J’aime tout particulièrement en manger avec des côtes de porc. Au Québec c’est très fréquent de mélanger les saveurs sucrés et salés. Je sais que ce n’est pas très habituel en France… but if you try does not hesitate to tell me what you think ! Here is the recipe…

Ingredients :
2 large cans of peaches in syrup
or
Peaches in syrup homemade
1 cc peppercorns
1 cc cayenne or bird (not powder)
4 cinnamon sticks
3 cm of chopped ginger
2 tablespoons rice vinegar (is in Chinese shop)
1 cc de sel
6 to 8 whole cloves

Method :
Tout simplement verser les pêches au sirop dans une casserole avec le reste des ingrédients. Notez que le gingembre doit être coupé en rondelle grossièrement. Boil for about a minute.
Remove from heat and pour into sterile glass containers. Keep in a cool.
