Now, let’s gather our ingredients. For this delicious jam, you will need:
- 4 cups peaches, peeled and diced
- 2 cups fresh pineapple, diced
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 package (1.75 oz) fruit pectin
With everything ready, let’s move on to the instructions for making this sweet treat:
- In a large pot, combine the diced peaches and pineapple. Add the lemon juice and mix well.
- Sprinkle the sugar over the fruit mixture and stir thoroughly. Let it sit for about 30 minutes to allow the fruit to release some of its juices.
- After 30 minutes, place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.
- Once boiling, add the fruit pectin while continuing to stir. Bring the mixture back to a full boil and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat and skim off any foam that has formed on the surface.
- Ladle the hot mixture into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch headspace at the top. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean cloth to remove any jam residue.
- Seal the jars with sterilized lids and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure preservation.
- Once processed, remove the jars from the water bath and let them cool completely on a clean towel or cooling rack.
And there you have it! After cooling, your Peach Pineapple Jam will be ready to enjoy. Spread it on your favorite breakfast items or serve it as a sweet treat during gatherings. This homemade jam is sure to impress and is a delightful way to savor the flavors of summer all year round!
