It’s perfect for when you have fruit that’s too soft to eat fresh and need a clever way to avoid food waste. Simmer the fruit with sugar and a hint of rosemary, which adds an exciting twist. It works perfectly on toast or even as an ice cream topping! This recipe is also endlessly flexible, as you can swap in any stone fruit you have or use a combination of peaches, apricots, and cherries. So, when you’re facing a bowl of stone fruit that needs using, give this leftover stone fruit jam a try! The jam will even keep for a year in sterilised jars.
