Ingredients

  • Fresh Peaches: Ripe and juicy for natural sweetness.
  • Granulated Sugar: Helps preserve and sweeten the jam.
  • Vanilla Bean: Adds a rich, aromatic flavor.
  • Lemon Juice: Balances the sweetness and helps set the jam.
  • Pectin: Ensures a thick, spreadable consistency.
  • Water: Helps the peaches break down during cooking.

Instructions

  1. Peel, pit, and dice the peaches. Lightly mash to release juices.
  2. In a large pot, combine peaches, sugar, vanilla bean seeds, and lemon juice. Stir to mix.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently. Add pectin and cook for 5-7 minutes until thickened.
  4. Test the jam by placing a small amount on a chilled plate. If it sets slightly, it is ready.
  5. Ladle hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving a 1/4 inch headspace. Seal tightly.
  6. Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Let cool and check seals before storing.

Notes

  • Use ripe peaches for the best flavor.
  • If using frozen peaches, thaw and drain before cooking.
  • Adjust the vanilla intensity by using half a bean or vanilla extract.
  • Store unopened jars in a cool, dark place for up to a year.
