Sweet and Spicy Peach Jalapeño Jam
This jam features fresh peaches and jalapeños cooked down with sugar and lemon juice to create a sweet and spicy flavor profile. The recipe takes about 1 hour from start to finish and yields several jars, perfect for sharing or gifting.
Ingredients
- 4 cups diced fresh peaches (about 6-8 medium peaches)
- 1-2 jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped (adjust for spice preference)
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 packet (1.75 oz) fruit pectin (such as Sure-Jell)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Peaches: Peel and dice the peaches, removing the pits. If desired, you can leave some skin on for added texture.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large pot, combine the diced peaches, chopped jalapeños, sugar, lemon juice, and salt. Stir well to combine.
- Cook the Mixture: Heat the mixture over medium heat until it comes to a boil, stirring frequently. Once boiling, add the fruit pectin and continue to boil for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Check for Doneness: To test if the jam is ready, place a spoonful on a cold plate and let it sit for a minute. Run your finger through it; if it holds its shape, it’s ready to jar.
- Jar the Jam: Pour the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace. Wipe the rims clean and seal with lids.
- Process the Jars: If canning, process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Allow the jars to cool completely before storing.
