Time 35m

Yield 64

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 ½ cups fresh peaches - peeled, pitted and chopped
¼ cup finely chopped crystallized ginger
1 (1.75 ounce) package powdered fruit pectin
6 cups white sugar
½ teaspoon butter

Steps:

  • Bring peaches, ginger, and pectin to a boil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the sugar and butter; cook and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Return to a boil, stirring constantly for 1 minute more. Remove from heat, and skim off any foam with a spoon.
  • Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the peach jam into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

My great Auntie Doris passed down this old farmhouse recipe, made with very simple ingredients, for a fresh and delicious peach jam. It is wonderful on toast, oatmeal or ice-cream.

Provided by TJ & Doc

Categories     Side Dish     Sauces and Condiments Recipes     Canning and Preserving Recipes     Jams and Jellies Recipes

Time 11h30m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 3

12 fresh peaches - peeled, pitted and chopped
4 oranges
6 cups white sugar

Steps:

  • Place the peaches into a large bowl. Scrub the oranges then chop into pieces - including the peel. This is easiest done in a food processor so you don't lose as much juice. Transfer to the bowl with the peaches. Stir in sugar, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
  • The next day, pour the entire contents of the bowl into a large pot. Bring to a simmer over low heat and cook for 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Make sure the heat is low enough, or the jam will burn and stick to the bottom of the pot. This does not need to come to a rolling boil.
  • While the jam simmers, sterilize your jars in boiling water for at least 5 minutes, and keep hot. Prepare new lids according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ladle the jam into the jars, leaving 1/4 inch of headspace. Wipe the rims with a clean damp cloth or paper towel, and seal with lids and rings. Process according to guidelines suggested by your local extension.

BUTTERSCOTCH PEACHES



Butterscotch Peaches image

I make a peach-butterscotch sauce that I dreamed up to impress my children, whose love for me, though unwavering, I am nonetheless constantly trying to cement with food. The result was delectable. We ate the sauce straight from the pot. We ate it from the serving dish. And we ate what was left for dessert that night, poured over Ronnybrook vanilla ice cream with chewy gingersnaps from Hawthorne Valley on the side. My children's adoration of me was unaffected by the butterscotch, but their energy level definitely got a boost from all the sugar.

Provided by Celia Barbour

Categories     weekday, dessert

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 medium or 5 large ripe peaches
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup cream
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon honey
Pinch of salt
3/4 teaspoon vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger or 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Vanilla ice cream
Almond biscotti, gingersnaps or other cookies

Steps:

  • Fill a large bowl with ice and water, and set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Place peaches in boiling water for 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to ice water. When cool, drain and pat dry.
  • Working over a bowl to catch the juice, peel skins from peaches, squeezing as much juice as possible from the skins. Slice each peach into 10 to 12 slices, and set aside with juice; discard skin and pits.
  • In medium skillet over low heat, melt butter. Raise heat to medium-high and cook butter until it foams, subsides, foams again and begins to brown. As soon as butter is nut-brown, add the peaches with juices. Sauté 2 to 3 minutes, then place skillet over low heat to keep warm.
  • In medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine cream, sugar, honey and salt. Place over low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar is completely melted. Raise heat to medium and let boil without stirring until it turns a rich golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. (Because of honey and cream it will appear to turn pale brown before it has caramelized; wait until it has darkened noticeably, thickened and reduced before proceeding.) Carefully pour contents of skillet into saucepan; it will boil and spatter; stir to combine. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Add vanilla or other flavoring. Serve warm or at room temperature over ice cream, with cookies on the side.

The jam should form a single stream.

  • In a large heavy bottom saucepan combine peach mixture, pectin, cinnamon sticks and butter to keep foam down.
  • Cook over high heat stirring frequently to prevent scorching about 15 minutes or until full rolling boil.

  • Leave for 12 hours then check the seals on the jars by pressing on the centers of the lids. If the lids do not spring back, they are vacuum sealed and the jam can be stored at room temperature. Another way to check is to remove the ring and try to lift the lid.
  • If it lifts up, it wasn't sealed properly.
  • If the lid flexes, there is no seal, so store the jar in the refrigerator.

Tips:

  • To ensure a successful jam-making process, use ripe, fresh peaches that are free of blemishes. This will contribute to the jam's texture, flavor, and overall quality.
  • For a more intense peach flavor, choose varieties known for their sweetness and juiciness, such as yellow peaches, white peaches, or donut peaches.
  • If you prefer a smoother jam, peel the peaches before cooking. For a more rustic texture, leave the skins on.
  • Use a large pot or saucepan to allow ample space for the mixture to boil and prevent splattering.
  • Continuously stir the jam during cooking to prevent scorching and ensure even distribution of heat.
  • The jam is ready when it reaches a thick, spreadable consistency. To test, place a small amount on a chilled plate and refrigerate for a few minutes. If the jam wrinkles when you gently push it with your finger, it has reached the desired consistency.
  • For longer storage, process the jam in sterile jars using a boiling water bath or pressure canning method.

Conclusion:

Butterscotch peach jam is a delectable and versatile treat that captures the essence of summer's bounty. With its rich, buttery flavor and sweet peach notes, it pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes, from toast and scones to ice cream and yogurt.
