¼ cup of reduced sodium soy sauce
1/3 cup of honey
1 clove of garlic, finely minced
1/8 teaspoon of ginger
1/8 teaspoon of pepper

PREPARATION:
Cut 5 peaches in half and remove pits. Process to make 2 cups of puree. Blend 1 cup of the puree with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Refrigerate.

Combine remaining peach puree with the remaining lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, ginger, and pepper.

Pour over meat and marinate for in a plastic bowl or a large sealed plastic bag in the refrigerator for 3 hours or more, turning occasionally. Drain and reserve marinade. Cook meat on a spit over low coals for about 3 hours, basting often with marinade. Cut the remaining peaches in half and remove pits.
