KIKI'S SPICED HABANERO PEACH JAM
I developed this recipe when I was low on funds one holiday season and needed an inexpensive gift for family and friends. I now make several batches every years at several peoples request. It has become a huge hit at bake sales as well. Don't be afraid of the fact that it has habanero peppers in the recipe. The heat is very subtle and just adds to the flavor of the jam. It's also great spread over a block of cream cheese served with crackers for an easy appetizer for parties. Try it instead of sugar in your baked bean recipe and you will not be disappointed.

Steps:
- Put peaches in a Dutch oven or soup pot; stir in lemon juice, vanilla bean, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and cardamom.
- Place habanero peppers in a blender; top peppers with peach mixture. Blend until mostly smooth; transfer mixture back to the Dutch oven. Stir pectin into peach-habanero pepper mixture; bring to a full rolling boil. Quickly stir white sugar and brown sugar into mixture; return to a boil, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes.
- Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack 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 and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 15 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, and wait 1 to 2 weeks before opening for best results.

SPICED GINGER PEACH JAM RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Number Of Ingredients 14
Steps:
- Equipment needed/recommended: Canning kit: includes pot with lid, canning rack, funnel, tongs Canning jars, bands and lids, washed and sanitized (I set them in the water canning pot, while the water is coming to a boil, remove with tongs and set on a baking sheet with a towel Large bowl of ice with water (for blanching the peaches) For the peaches: Wash the fruit and bring a large pot of water to a boil. With a paring knife, cut a small "x" on the bottom of each peach (I also cut an "x" on the top of each peach). When the water is boiling, gently place the peaches in the pot and cook for 2 minutes, max. Using a slotted spoon, remove the peaches into an ice water bath and allow to sit for a few minutes. Using a paring knife (I use my fingers), pull on the skin at an "x" and the peels should come right off. If adding the ginger and spices, prep those and set aside. For the jam: Mash (or use the pulse feature on a food processor) the peeled peaches, to yield 8 cups. Add the prepared fruit into a large pot, and add the sugar. Bring to a gentle boil, and slowly add the pectin. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, ginger and spices (if using) and vanilla(or vanilla bean seeds). Allow the jam to come to a rolling boil, can take about 10 minutes. TIP: I know when the jam has thickened enough when it coats the back of a spoon. I like to freeze a few spoons, to better test this theory. Once the jam is thick, turn off the heat. Carefully spoon the jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4" head space. Add a lid and band and tighten-- but don't over tighten. I like to water can the filled jars, by placing them into a canning rack, and bring to a boil for about ten minutes. Remove, carefully, with tongs onto a baking sheet with a fresh towel. Listen for the "ping" as each can self-seals. Enjoy this jam with fresh scones or homemade bread. Delicious!
SPICED PEACH JAM
This jam is good enough to eat out of the jar! Opening a jar in the winter is like opening a jar of summer. Try it with cream cheese as an appetizer. Makes a great glaze for just about any meat or fish, too. Add 1/4 cup red hot cinnamon candies for extra spice if desired.

Steps:
- 1. Peel and roughly chop peaches. See how here: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/jam/peeling-fresh-peaches.html?p=2 Sprinkle with Fruit Fresh, toss to coat, and set aside.
- 2. Prepare jars, rings and water bath canner keeping jars hot. Measure out other ingredients. Snip corners off the two 3 oz pectin packets and set upright in a mug near the stove.
- 3. Combine peaches, sugar, red hots (if using), spices, lemon juice and butter (if using) in a large, heavy saucepan. Bring mixture to a full, rolling boil that cannot be stirred down. Stir and mash with a potato masher very frequently.
- 4. Once mixture has reached a boil that cannot be stirred down, quickly add pectin squeezing entire contents in all at once. Return to a hard boil stirring and mashing constantly for one minute. Remove from heat. Skim foam if necessary.
- 5. Fill hot jars leaving 1/4" headspace. Run a small spatula around the inside of each jar to disperse air bubbles and add additional jam to bring back to 1/4" headspace.
- 6. Carefully and thoroughly wipe the rim of each jar clean with a damp towel to ensure a good seal. Place rings and lids. Tighten lids to "fingertip" tightness. Process in boiling water bath for five minutes.

SPICED PEACH JAM RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:
- The first thing I do is get the jars and lids ready. Here are two methods I use: Wash and rinse jars and place them in the dishwasher and turn on the heat dry cycle. Wash and dry jars and place on a cookie sheet and place in the oven on it's lowest temperature. Note: The rings need to be clean but do not need to be warmed. Place the lids in a small sauce pan and cover them with warm water (also called a Hot Water Bath). Put them on a burner with the temp at its lowest setting. You want them to be hot but don't let them boil! Fill a small sized canner with water, about half way and turn on the heat. You will need the water to be very warm but not boiling when you add the jars filled with jam. If the jars aren't covered with water you need to add enough water so they are covered by at least 2 inches of water. Note: Putting a cold jar into a hot canner could cause the glass to break and that would be a big mess to clean up. For the Jam: In a quart size saucepan mix together the lemon juice, water and spices and stir. Set aside. Remove the skins from the peaches in a hotwater bath for 30-seconds and then plunge into ice water. The skin will come right off. Cut your peaches in half and remove the pit. Cut your peaches into small peaches and add to your sugar mixture one cup at a time, stirring until the sugar/spice is well distributed. Continue until all the peaches are evenly covered with the mixture. Put over medium heat and stir until mixture comes to a slow simmer and the peaches are soft. Add the sugar a little at a time, stirring constantly until all the sugar is mixed in. Continue stirring until the mixture boils and starts to thicken. You can also use a thermometer until it reaches 220 degrees if you are unsure. Now you need to get your clean jars out and pour your jam into each one, leaving 1/4-inch head space. With a clean, damp towel, wipe the rim of each jar. Pull a lid out of the hot water bath and place on top of the jar and then add a ring and screw on tight. Place them into your canning basket and lower them into the hot water. Bring water to a boil and process for 10 minutes. If your jars are jumping around in your canner you need to turn the heat down. They could break. You want a slow rolling boil. After 10 minutes, removed them from the canner and place on a dry towel on your counter and let them cool completely. You should hear the lids pop and that is telling you that the process worked. I always count the pops. If you aren't sure, push down on the lid and if it is firm and doesn't pop up and down, you are all sealed. If you get one that didn't pop, don't worry. Put it in your fridge and use that one first. Enjoy!
SOUTHERN COMFORT SPIKED, SPICED, PEACH JAM
A Beautiful Amber colored jam studded with golden nuggets of spiced peaches. Brown sugar and Southern Comfort giving a nice caramel flavor and warmness from the spices making it great for the holidays. That is if you can save it till then. Top some chicken, pork, toast, pancakes, brie, ice cream or cold vanilla yogurt with this. I didn't peel my peaches but if you desire them peeled just, blanch the peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds, then submerse in an ice bath, then slip off the skins.

- 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 freezer or refrigerator instead.
