Ingredients
Scale
Fruits and Vegetables
- 5–6 medium peaches, peeled, pitted, and finely chopped
- 4–5 small jalapenos, seeded and finely chopped
- 1 Tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
Sweetener
- 3 cups granulated sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Peaches and Jalapenos: Peel and pit the peaches, then finely chop them. Wash the jalapenos, remove seeds to reduce heat if desired, and finely chop the peppers.
- Heat the Fruit Mixture: In a large saucepan, combine the chopped peaches, jalapenos, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Heat over medium-high, stirring frequently, and bring to a gentle boil.
- Add Sugar and Boil: Once boiling, stir in all the sugar, ensuring it dissolves completely. Maintain a full rolling boil and cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring often, until the mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency.
- Test the Jam Consistency: Dip a metal spoon into the jam. If the jam coats the back of the spoon without dripping quickly, it is ready for jarring.
- Jar and Cool: Wash jars in hot soapy water and dry thoroughly. Pour the hot jam into the jars, leaving a 1/4 inch space at the top. Wipe the rims, seal with lids, and let the jars cool to room temperature before storing.
Notes
- Removing jalapeno seeds reduces the heat level; adjust seeds according to your spice preference.
- Use ripe peaches for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- Ensure proper sterilization of jars to safely store the jam for longer shelf life.
- The jam will thicken further as it cools.
- Store opened jam in the refrigerator and consume within a few weeks.
