I kept the recipe simple. For some flavour, variations add one of the following: 1 tbsp vanilla extract, 3 tbsp peach liquor, or 1/2 cup slivered almonds. Homemade Jam Recipe | Homemade Jam Packaging | Homemade Jam Healthy | Homemade Jam No Sugar | Homemade Jam Strawberry | Homemade Jam
Prep time: Cook time: Total time:
Yield: 4 Servings
Ingredients: 1 kg (2.2 lb) ripe peaches (8 – 10 fruits) 1 kg (5 cups) jam sugar (see tip above) the juice of 1 large lemon 20g (1 tbsp) butter 5 to 6 jam/preserve jars with lids Check below.
Instructions:
Step one. Fill a large bowl with ice cold water and set aside. Using a sharp paring knife, cut an x-shape into the bottom of each peach. Then fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a rolling boil. Submerge the fruits for 2 – 3 minutes, until the skin around the cut bottoms starts to loosen. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the peaches to the bowl of cold water and let sit until cool enough to handle.
And then, Starting at the scored ends, peel away the skin with a knife. Next, divide the peaches in half, remove the pits and cut into thin slice.
And now, Alternate layers of peach slices and jam sugar in a large non-metallic bowl and add the lemon juice. Cover with a lid or cling film and put in the fridge for several hours or overnight. This helps to dissolve the sugar and boost the flavour of the fruits.
