Opinions differ how this jam tastes best. Some members of our family like it as a spread on toast, others add it to a bowl of natural yogurt. Both are very tasty.

Time 30m

Yield 90

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 ½ cups finely chopped, peeled peaches
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 cups sugar
1 (1.75 ounce) package fruit pectin (such as Sure-Jell® Pectin Light for less or no sugar)
⅓ cup amaretto liqueur, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Inspect 5 half-pint jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until jam is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
  • Mix peaches with lemon juice in a large pot immediately after chopping to prevent peaches from turning brown. Place pot over medium heat.
  • Mix 1/4 cup of the sugar with pectin and add it to the pot with the peaches. Stir well. Slowly bring to a full rolling boil that does not stop bubbling when stirred. Add the remaining sugar and stir well, scraping the bottom of the pot, to fully dissolve the sugar. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  • Remove from heat and stir in amaretto liqueur.
  • Ladle peach jam immediately into the prepared 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 spills. Top with lids and tightly 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 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.
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart. Let rest for 24 hours without moving the jars. Gently press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

I've made this jam several times and it always turns out great. I love the way the Amaretto liqueur adds a touch of elegance to the jam.

This jam is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of Amaretto liqueur. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The liqueur flavor is subtle and it really complements the peaches.

The Amaretto liqueur really makes this jam special. It adds a unique flavor that I haven't found in other peach jams.

This peach jam with Amaretto liqueur is simply divine! The flavors are perfectly balanced, with the sweetness of the peaches complemented by the nutty bitterness of the Amaretto. I love the way the liqueur adds a touch of sophistication to the jam.
