Sweet and Spicy Peach Jalapeno Jam
A vibrant, homemade jam balancing the sweetness of fresh summer peaches with a spicy kick of jalapeños. Perfect for spreading on toast, pairing with cheese, or gifting to friends!
Equipment
- Large saucepan
- Metal spoon
- Glass jars
Ingredients
- 5-6 medium fresh peaches peeled, pitted, and finely chopped
- 4-5 small fresh jalapeños seeded and finely chopped
- 1 Tbsp fresh lemon zest
- 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 3 cups granulated sugar
Instructions
- Prep your fresh produce: Easily peel your peaches by blanching them in boiling water for a few seconds, then dipping them into ice water—the skins will slide right off! Chop the peaches and seeded jalapeños finely.
- Simmer the base: Toss your chopped peaches, jalapeños, lemon zest, and lemon juice into a large saucepan. Warm them up over medium-high heat, stirring gently, until the mixture comes to a light boil.
- Sweeten and thicken: Pour in the sugar, stirring continuously until it dissolves. Let the mixture reach a full rolling boil, then cook for 15 to 20 minutes until it thickens into a beautiful, glossy jam consistency.
- Test the set: Dip a metal spoon into the pot. If the jam coats the back of the spoon cleanly without instantly dripping off, your jam is perfectly cooked!
- Fill and store: Ladle your vibrant jam into clean jars, leaving just a quarter-inch of space at the top. Seal them up, let them cool, and pop them in the fridge to enjoy for up to 3 weeks, or freeze for a fresh taste of summer later!
