MG Ann Duke’s husband, Bill, won a Blue Ribbon for Peach Preserves at the NC State Fair October 14 - 23, 2005 in Raleigh. The award winning preserves were made with Freestone Caro-gem peaches. The recipe - which uses peaches, spices and sugar - was first used by Ann’s mother, Jennie Griggs Brock, in the 1930s and 1940s and later by Sue Brock, Ann’s sister-in-law.
The preserves were critiqued by Edwina Shaw, a noted gourmet cook in Raleigh.
These award-winning peach preserves are for sale at Cat on A Whisk in Southport.
