Description
This Peach Jam only uses 3 ingredients and can be made in roughly 20 minutes. The natural sweetness of ripe, juicy peaches is balanced with freshly squeezed lemon juice, which also helps the jam achieve it’s thick yet spreadable consistency. This jam tastes wonderful on toast, in cakes or pastries, or as a topping for your bowl of vanilla ice cream
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds peaches, peeled and chopped (roughly 6 peaches)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- Juice from 1 small lemon
Instructions
1. Peel peaches, remove seed, then chop into thin slices.
2. Add peaches, sugar and lemon juice to a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently for 10 minutes. Use a potato masher to mash the peach jam. You can mash as little or as much as you like, depending on your preference for how chunky you want the peach jam. I mashed about 1/2 of the fruit in the jam and did not overly mash it.
3. Remove from heat and add peach jam to clean jar or container. Seal with lid then allow to cool to room temperature. Once cool, place and store in refrigerator up to 1 week.
