Description

Sweet yet spiced white peach jam. You’ll absolutely love this jam on your favorite breads, but I highly recommend spooning it over vanilla bean ice cream!

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

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!

This was great! I’m labeling it as “peach cobbler jam” because that’s what my husband thinks it tastes like! I halved the spices, though.

Smells amazing and is delicious! I used a mix of white and yellow peaches.

The recipe didn’t specify headspace, so we used 1/4 inch. Also the yield was less than expected – just 48 oz total.
