Scale
Ingredients
- 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
- 3 cups granulated sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit and Peppers: Peel and pit the fresh peaches, then finely chop them. Wash the jalapeño peppers, remove the seeds for a milder flavor, and chop them finely.
- Combine Ingredients and Heat: In a large saucepan, combine the peaches, jalapeños, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Add Sugar and Boil: Once the jam reaches a full boil, stir in all the sugar. Continue stirring to dissolve the sugar completely, and maintain a rolling boil. Let it cook for 15–20 minutes until it reaches a jam-like consistency.
- Test for Doneness: Dip a metal spoon into the jam. If the jam coats the back of the spoon without dripping quickly, it is ready.
- Jar the Jam: Wash the jars in hot soapy water and dry them thoroughly. Transfer the hot jam into the jars, leaving 1/4 inch of space at the top. Wipe jar rims with a damp kitchen towel, seal with lids, and let the jars cool to room temperature.
Notes
- Removing the jalapeño seeds reduces the heat; keep them for a spicier jam.
- Ensure jars are sterilized if you plan to store the jam long-term.
- The jam consistency can vary depending on cooking time; longer boiling will yield thicker jam.
- Use ripe, sweet peaches for the best flavor balance.
