Peach jam

Ingredients

Servings

2 jars of 500 g

Peach

1.5 kg
Sugar

450 G
Lemon

1 pcs

Preparation

Step 1

Take the peaches and rinse them under running water. Set one whole peach aside, as we'll need it later. Remove the pits from the remaining peaches and cut them into medium-sized pieces.

Step 2

Place the peaches in a saucepan. I recommend using a thick-bottomed stainless steel pan, as it significantly reduces the risk of sticking.

Step 3

Add all the sugar to the sliced peaches and mix gently until it covers all the pieces of fruit.

Step 4

Add the juice of 1 lemon to the saucepan with the peaches. This prevents the peaches from turning brown. It's recommended to pour the juice through a sieve to avoid any pulp or pits getting into the finished dish.

Step 5

Mix the peaches with the juice and leave them to stand for one hour so that they release their juice.

If the peaches you bought weren't juicy enough and didn't release much juice, you can add a little water during cooking. This will improve the consistency of the jam. For every 1 kilogram of peaches, it's recommended to add 100 to 150 ml of cold water.

Step 6

Place the pan with peaches on high heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Add half a lemon to the peaches. It adds a citrusy note and enhances the aroma of the finished dish.

Step 8

After boiling, reduce heat and let the peaches cook until soft (about 30 minutes).

Step 9

Remove the pan from the heat and blend the peaches until smooth.

Step 10

Take the remaining peach, remove the pit and skin, and then cut it into small cubes.

Step 11

Add the peach pieces to the main mixture, mix gently, and reduce heat to low. Cook the jam for about 30 minutes until the peaches are soft. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

Step 12

Remove the jam from the heat and pour it into sterilized jars. Seal the jars with lids and let them cool to room temperature. Then store them in a cool, dark place.

Answers to frequently asked questions

Can you make jam from canned peaches?

Fresh or frozen peaches are perfect for making jam. They will give you a thick consistency and incredible flavor. I don't recommend using canned peaches, as they won't release their juices and impart a tropical aroma to the jam.

Do you need to peel the skins from peaches?

When preparing the jam base, peeling the peaches is not necessary. If you decide to do so, first steep the fruit in boiling water for 30 seconds, then immediately transfer to cold water. Making a cross-shaped cut will allow you to easily peel the peaches.

Is it possible to reduce the amount of sugar?

Since peaches are very sweet, you can safely reduce the amount of sugar. It all depends on how ripe the fruit is when you want to make jam. If the peaches are firm and not juicy, feel free to increase the sugar. This will only make the jam sweeter and more delicious.

Now you're convinced that making peach jam is simple, quick, and fun. If you've been hesitant about stocking up on jam for the winter, grab these juicy fruits now and delight your loved ones with this incredibly delicious dessert!
