Spicy Peach Jam - Recipe For A Sweet & Spicy Treat!

Peach Jalapeno Jam is a sweet and spicy condiment that can be used to enhance a variety of dishes! This homemade recipe uses fresh juicy peaches and jalapenos. It’s a super easy crowd-pleaser. So many fruits can be made into delicious jams. Peaches are one of my favorites to use because they are sweet and a tad tart, pairing perfectly with the spiciness of the jalapenos.

This flavor combination makes it suitable as a complement to sweet and savory dishes. I love making jars of homemade jalapeno peach jam to give as gifts, too! They are not only thoughtful but super tasty!

Peach Jalapeno Jam Recipe:

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
• 4 cleaned and sanitized pint mason jars or 8 half pint jars with lids and bands

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
• According to google 1 peach makes about ⅔ cup peach cubes. For me, 6 peaches made 4 heaping cups. Basically, you want to end up with about 4 cups of diced peaches to make the jam. This will vary depending on types of peaches.

• You can also put the jars in hot water for 10 minutes. Then take them out and let them cool. When they cool down, the lids will make a popping sound, which means they're sealed. Check the lids the next day to make sure they're tight when you press the center. If any lids are loose, keep those jars in the fridge.
