Ingredients- 7 Yellow Peaches
- 2 cups Sugar (approx. 200g)
- 2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the yellow peaches thoroughly under running water. This step removes any dirt or debris from the skin.
Step 2
Peel the washed peaches thinly using a peeler or paring knife. Remove the pits and dice the peaches into large chunks or your preferred bite-sized pieces. Leaving some larger pieces whole before blending will add texture to the jam. Place all the chopped peaches into a large pot.
Step 3
Add 2 cups of sugar (about 200g) and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to the pot with the peaches. You can adjust the sugar amount based on the sweetness of the peaches and your personal preference. The lemon juice helps maintain the vibrant color and adds a refreshing tang.
Step 4
Begin by boiling the mixture over high heat. Once it starts to bubble, reduce the heat to medium-low. Let it simmer gently for about 20 minutes, with the lid partially covered or ajar. It’s important to stir occasionally to prevent sticking to the bottom. During this simmering process, the peaches will soften, and the mixture will thicken.
Step 5
After simmering for about 20 minutes, use an immersion blender or a regular blender to process the peaches. If you prefer some texture in your jam, don’t blend it too smoothly; leave some small chunks. For a completely smooth jam, blend until silky.
Step 6
Sterilize your glass jars by boiling them in water. Once sterilized, thoroughly dry them, ensuring no moisture remains. While the jam is still hot, carefully ladle it into the hot, dry jars. This hot-filling method helps create a good seal for long-term storage.
Step 7
Fill the sterilized jars with the hot jam, seal them tightly, and let them cool completely. Once cooled, store the jam in the refrigerator. Enjoy it spread on toast or bread for a delightful treat. It’s the perfect way to enjoy delicious summer peaches year-round!
