Ingredients

Instructions

  • Gather the ingredients for your peach jalapeno jam.
  • Peel and slice the peaches. Remove their pits.
  • Place the peach slices and sugar in a non-reactive pan. Let them sit for an hour or two until the peaches are soft and the sugar has dissolved.
    step 3a Peach Jalapeno Jam
  • Sterilize the jars and lids with your preferred method.
  • Place a plate in the freezer. We'll use this later to test the jam if it's ready. Alternatively, you can just freeze a metal spoon for 10 minutes.
  • Add the lemon juice and diced jalapenos to the peaches. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and stir occasionally. Don't mind the foam that rises to the top of the jam; it's up to you whether you want to skim it for a clearer jam.
    step 6a Peach Jalapeno Jam
  • After 40 minutes, test the jam to see if it's ready. Spoon some of your peach jalapeno jam on the frozen plate or spoon. If it still runs, continue cooking the jam for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
    step 7 Peach Jalapeno Jam
  • Your peach jalapeño jam is ready when it no longer runs on the frozen plate.
  • Pour the jam into the hot, sterilized jars, leaving some space at the top. Cover the jars with their lids and rings, then cool them before refrigerating.
    step 9 Peach Jalapeno Jam

Notes

  • Score an "X" at the bottom of each peach, then boil the fruits for 3 minutes. Immediately transfer them into a bowl of ice water. Once the peaches are cool enough to handle, their skins should peel off easily.
  • Sterilize the jars in the oven when the peach jalapeno jam is about 30 minutes away from being done. You don't want to add hot jam to cold jars or cold jam to hot jars!
  • For a less spicy peach jam, remove the seeds and ribs of the jalapenos.
