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.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 medium peaches, peeled and cut into chunks
1 small unpeeled naval orange, cut into wedges
2 can(s) (8 oz. each) crushed pineapple, undrained
12 maraschino cherries
3 Tbsp maraschino cherry juice
2 pkg (1 3/4 oz. each) powdered fruit pectin
10 c sugar

Steps:

  • 1. In a blender or food processor, blend fruits and cherry juice in batches until smooth. Transfer to a large kettle; stir in pectin.
  • 2. Bring to a rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Add sugar; boil for 2 additional minutes.
  • 3. Remove from heat and place into prepared, sterilized jars if canning.

Tips:

  • Prep your fruit: Before you start, make sure your pineapple and peaches are ripe and fresh. Peel and core the pineapple, and slice it into small chunks. Peel and slice the peaches into small pieces as well.
  • Use a large pot: As the jam cooks, it will bubble and expand, so it's important to use a large pot to prevent it from boiling over.
  • Stir frequently: Stir the jam frequently as it cooks to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
  • Test the set: To test if the jam is ready, spoon a small amount onto a cold plate. If the jam wrinkles when you push your finger across it, it's ready.
  • Canning the jam: If you want to can the jam for long-term storage, follow the instructions in the recipe carefully. Sterilize your jars and lids before filling them with the hot jam.

Conclusion:

Pineapple peach jam is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed on toast, crackers, or even ice cream. It's also a great way to use up ripe fruit that you might otherwise have to throw away. With a little time and effort, you can easily make your own pineapple peach jam at home. So next time you have some fresh pineapple and peaches on hand, give this recipe a try!
