Here's a funny one from my good friend Jersey Tomato:
When I was a kid we were so poor, we would go to KFC and lick other
peoples fingers

You will be surprised what a little bit of cayenne pepper does to
these stewed peaches. You might try spicing up some of your favorite
jam and jelly recipes, too.
Spiced Stewed Peaches
2 cups (500 ml) sugar
1/2 cup (125 ml) white vinegar
1/2 cup (125 ml) water
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 cinnamon stick
6 whole cloves
2 whole star anise* (optional)
6 to 8 firm, ripe peaches, peeled and cut in half,
stones removed
* Star anise is available in the spice section of finer supermarkets
and in Asian specialty shops.
Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan over moderate heat and
boil for 2 minutes. Add the peach halves and boil uncovered for 10
minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool for at least 30 minutes.
Place the peaches in clean jars and bring the remaining syrup to a
boil. Pour over the peaches and seal the jars. Will keep
refrigerated for up to 3 weeks. Makes about 6 cups (1.5 L).
