Peach Habanero Jam in a jar with fresh peaches and habanero peppers

Ingredients

  • 4 cups of fresh peaches, diced
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 1-2 habanero peppers, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 cup of lemon juice
  • 1 pack (1.75 oz) of fruit pectin
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing your peaches. Remove the skins by blanching them in boiling water for about 30 seconds, then transferring them to ice water. This will make peeling a breeze! Dice the peaches and set aside.
  2. Next, in a large pot, combine the diced peaches, sugar, and chopped habanero peppers. Stir the mixture gently to combine the ingredients.
  3. Add in the lemon juice and salt, then bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
  4. Once the mixture reaches a rolling boil, add the fruit pectin. Continue to boil for an additional 1-2 minutes while stirring constantly.
  5. After the time is up, take the pot off the heat and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Skim off any foam that may have formed on the surface.
  6. Pour the jam into sterilized jars, leaving some space at the top. Seal the jars with lids and process them in a boiling water bath for 5-10 minutes for preservation.
  7. Allow the jars to cool and check that the seals are tight. Store them in a cool, dark place and let the flavors meld for at least 24 hours before indulging.

There you have it! Your homemade Peach Habanero Jam is ready to bring a burst of flavor to your table. Spread it on your morning toast, use it as a filling for pastries, or serve it alongside your favorite cheese. Enjoy the delightful combination of sweet and spicy in every bite!
