Some peaches will be less sweet than others and require more sweetening, however don't add too much sugar or you'll overpower the subtle saffron flavor.
- Remove from heat and process the mixture through a food mill. Be sure to turn the handle in both directions so that you get the most of out your fruit.
- Return the mixture to the sauce pot and add cinnamon. Bring to a boil and cook for an additional 15 minutes.
- Allow preserves to cool and transfer to jars or a container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
