Spicy and Sweet Peach Jam

Prepare jam by chopping the peaches into small pieces. Place the peaches in a deep saucepan. Chop jalapenos (wearing gloves!), seeds included, into bite size pieces and add them to the saucepan.

Add sugar to the mixture and heat on medium-high heat until sugar is dissolved. Add in lemon juice. Then reduce heat to low and let simmer for 15 – 20 minutes, or until thick.

While jam cooks, sterilize your jar and lid by boiling them in hot water. Once jam is thick, remove pot from heat. Use a ladle to spoon jam into the jar. Let it chill for at least 30 minutes before use. Keep whatever you don’t use refrigerated.

Yields: 2 cups of jam.
