Peach Pepper Jam
x
Print Options
Description
A sweet and spicy jam. The hotter the pepper mix the hotter the jam. Goes really well with crackers when mixed with cream cheese.
Ingredients
- 3 cups Peaches Pitted And Cut Into Chunks
- ½ cups Jalapenos Seeded And Chopped
- 1-½ cup Pepper Of Choice (For Mild Jam, Use Green Pepper; For Spicier Jam, Use Hotter Peppers)
- 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
- ¼ cups Vinegar
- 1 box Low Sugar Pectin
- 1-½ cup Sugar
Preparation
Wash peaches in cold water, then remove the pits and discard. Cut up peach halves into chunks about ¾ inch in size. Next, clean and dice peppers. Make sure to wear gloves when seeding and dicing peppers.
Place peaches, peppers, vinegar, lemon juice, 1/4 cup sugar and box of pectin into large saucepan on top of stove and turn heat to medium-high.
Once the mixture gets to a rolling boil (where the mixture keeps bubbling whether you stir or not), quickly add the rest of the sugar. Return to full rolling boil and boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Make sure jars have been cleaned and are hot. It’s best to put really hot tap water in, and leave jars in the sink until you’re ready to pour in the hot jam. Get hot jars out, one at a time, and ladle hot liquid jam into the jars.
Place lids and screw bands on jars, and place in a hot-water bath canner. Process 10 minutes.

I am not at all an expert in canning, and in particular I’ve never canned jelly or jam. That said, I was very unclear on this recipe on two things.
1. Is this jam supposed to be very chunky? The recipe says to cut peaches to about 3/4 inch chunks. I expected that these would break down as they cooked, but they never did.
2. Is the rolling boil supposed to be happening in a liquid? The mixture that first went into the pot was not liquid at all, and when it first started to bubble it was still mostly solids and very thick.
I ended up burning the sugar as I waited for the peaches to break down and the mixture to boil as a liquid. I’ve gone ahead and canned it; we’ll see what it tastes like. I’ll probably try another batch and try watching for a rolling boil early on, without waiting for anything to break down.
