Description
This peach jam recipe is naturally sweet, pectin-free, and filled with fresh summer flavor. Easy, homemade, and family-approved!
Ingredients
4 lbs fresh peaches (about 10–12 peaches, skins on or peeled)
4 cups sugar (or honey/stevia for sugar-free version)
2 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
Wash peaches, slice in half, remove pits, and chop into chunks.
Place peaches, sugar, and lemon juice in a large pot. Stir and let sit 5–10 minutes.
Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring often.
Reduce heat and simmer 20–25 minutes until thick and glossy.
Do the plate test: drop a spoonful on a cold plate. If it wrinkles when pushed, the jam is ready.
Ladle hot jam into sterilized jars, seal, and cool before storing.
Notes
For peach jalapeño jam, add 2–3 chopped jalapeños with the peaches.
For a sugar-free peach jam recipe, swap sugar with honey, stevia, or monk fruit.
Jam will thicken as it cools, so avoid overcooking.
Store in fridge up to 3 weeks, freeze up to 6 months, or can for 1 year.
