Equipment

  • Pint Jars or Half Pin Jars
  • Lids and Bands
  • Saucepan

Ingredients

  • 6 peaches about 4 cups peeled and diced
  • 2 jalapeño peppers finely diced
  • ¼ cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • ½ cup water
  • 4 tablespoons powdered low or no-sugar needed pectin
  • 3 cups granulated sugar

Instructions

  • Peel the peaches. A quick and easy way to peel peaches is to bring a large pot of water to a boil and boil peaches for about 3 minutes, with an “X” carved in the bottom. Place in an ice bath afterwards and the skins should gently peel off.
  • Dice the peaches into small cubes and mince the jalapeno as finely as possible.
  • Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly.
  • Continue cooking at full boil and stirring for two minutes. Then remove from heat.
  • Check the consistency by placing a spoon in the freezer for 5 minutes. Remove the chilled spoon from the freezer and drizzle a small amount of jam on the spoon to check consistency.
  • When desired consistency is reached, transfer jam to prepared jars and cool completely.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 3 months or in the freezer (in freezer safe containers) for up to 12 months.

Notes

  • Storing: Jars of peach jalapeno jam should be stored in the refrigerator for up three months. Alternatively you can freeze it for up to a year. Be sure it's in a freezer-safe jar or container.
  • Prepping the Jalapenos. Be sure to remove the membranes and seeds to prevent the jam from turning out too spicy. These parts contain most of the heat in chilies.
  • Use Ripe Peaches. Ripe peaches are more flavorful and fragrant so they will make a tastier jam.
  • Clean Jars. Be sure you clean and sanitize your jars before adding the jam.
