Ingredients
- 1 whole Vanilla Bean, Split
- 6 Tablespoons Lemon Juice, Fresh
- 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cardamom
- 1 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
- 2-½ cups Sugar, Or More As Needed
- 5 pounds Peaches, Peeled And Chopped
Preparation Instructions
1. Place all ingredients in a large heavy bottomed pot; stir to combine. Start with 2 1/2 cups sugar and increase to 3 if you feel it needs a little more sweetening after it has cooked for a while. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Boil about 15 minutes stirring occasionally.
2. While the mixture boils, mash fruit with a potato masher to desired consistency. Continue to boil 5 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently, or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and discard vanilla bean.
3. Pour hot jam into 8 sterilized 8-oz. jars. Carefully wipe jar rims; cover.
4. Immediately process in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes.
Tip: I recommend cutting the peaches into cubes versus the slices you see in the picture. I had a hard time smashing them and actually had to pull out the immersion blender to help!
