PINEAPPLE-PEACH JAM



Pineapple-Peach Jam image

I stumbled on this when I had an excess of pineapple and peaches. The resulting jam tasted a lot like duck sauce when warm, and it makes an excellent condiment to savory meals and accompanies chicken nicely. Cold, it's also a delicious jam. Creates about 8 to 10 half-pint jars, depending on the size of your peaches and pineapple.

Time 1h

Yield 64

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 overripe peaches, peeled and halved
1 ripe pineapple, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 lemons, juiced
7 tablespoons regular pectin
4 cups white sugar

Steps:

  • Immerse 8 to 10 half-pint jars in simmering water until sauce is ready. Wash lids and rings in warm soapy water. Set aside.
  • Combine peaches and pineapple in a large pot. Cook and stir over medium heat until fruit juices are released, 6 to 10 minutes. Add lemon juice, stirring continuously. Add sugar and stir. Add pectin; cook and stir until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
  • Pack jam into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw on rings finger-tight.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.

Categories     condiment

Time 2h30m

Yield about 1 3/4 cups of jam

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 3/4 pounds ripe peaches (5 to 8)
3/4 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
1 red Fresno chile pepper, seeded and finely chopped
2 tablespoons golden syrup

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cut a small X in the bottom of each peach; add to the boiling water for 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl of ice water to cool; drain and peel off the skins with a paring knife. (Or for harder peaches, remove skins with a vegetable peeler.)
  • Chop the peaches. Combine with the sugar, salt and chile in a medium saucepan. Toss and let stand until the sugar dissolves and the liquid is syrupy, 10 to 20 minutes.
  • Add the syrup to the pan and bring to a rapid simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring frequently and skimming off any foam, until the peaches soften and the juices thicken, about 15 minutes. (Gently mash any large peach chunks.) Remove from the heat and let the jam cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour.

PEACH ORANGE JAM



Peach Orange Jam image

This recipe uses peaches, oranges, and maraschino cherries. Really old recipe, close to a marmalade. They used a food chopper with this but I think a food processor would be faster. No jar amounts were given so I am guessing.

Provided by Dienia B.

Categories     Oranges

Time 8h

Yield 10 1/2 pints

Number Of Ingredients 4

18 peaches
5 oranges
8 cups sugar
1 (6 ounce) bottle maraschino cherries

Steps:

  • Run peaches through a chopper. I think that you would blanch, peel and pit the peaches before running them through chopper.
  • Run all oranges through chopper, using rind of one orange. (just the zest; the whole rind will make it bitter; other recipes are using zest from all the oranges; you judge).
  • Add cherry juice to the peaches, oranges, and sugar.
  • Cook, stirring constantly, I am guessing this will burn easily.
  • Cook until thick.
  • When nearly done, add chopped cherries.
  • Bring to a boil.
  • Put in small jar and cover with paraffin wax (I said this was old recipe).
  • Another recipe had you water bathing for 10 minutes to seal; check Ball book.

Tips:

  • Select ripe and flavorful peaches and cherries. The quality of your jam will depend on the quality of your fruit. Choose peaches and cherries that are ripe, juicy, and free of blemishes.
  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven. You'll need a large pot or Dutch oven to make the jam. A 6-quart or larger pot is ideal.
  • Sterilize your jars and lids. Before you start making the jam, you'll need to sterilize your jars and lids. This will help to prevent bacteria from growing in the jam.
  • Follow the recipe carefully. Jam making is a delicate process, so it's important to follow the recipe carefully. Don't skip any steps or substitute ingredients.
  • Be patient. Jam takes time to make. Don't rush the process or you'll end up with a runny jam.

Conclusion:

Peach and cherry jam is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed on toast, biscuits, pancakes, and waffles. It can also be used as a filling for pies, tarts, and other desserts.
