Peach and Jalapeno Jam

Peach and Jalapeno Jam

My favorite flavor of homemade jam is this Peach and Jalapeno Jam. I love the sweet flavor of the peaches combined with the hot and spicy flavor of the jalapeno peppers. Sweet pepper jams are my favorite types of jams. Blueberry and Poblano Pepper Jam is pretty good also.

Prepare your jars and lids accordingly. If you have never made jam or jelly before I suggest you read the Fresh Preserving site. You can find out all the information you need on canning. There are some important information you need to know so that you can safely preserve food for your family.

If you like smaller pieces of fruit in your jam you can mash the peach slices with a potato masher or even the bottom of a heavy glass.

 Use caution when chopping jalapenos or any hot pepper for that matter. Wear gloves while cutting them and hold the food processor away from your face when you remove the lid. I had a very bad experience some years ago

  1. What a great flavour combination! I've always loved sweet and spicy together.
    It's still a little early for peaches in my neck of the woods, but this recipe is going on my must-make list for later this summer once I can get my hands on baskets of gorgeous local peaches!

  8. Thanks so much for this recipe. We have purchased Jalapeno Peach & Pecan Preserves at a favorite family vacation spot for years, and always looked for a recipe to make it ourselves. We'll try your recipe and just add the pecans at the end before jarring them up. Loved the inclusion of your pictures and step-by-step instructions. Thanks again from South Carolina

  9. really tasty jam, if a little sweet. wasn’t sure when to add the juice (and i used lime… how did run out of lemons??) so i threw it in just before the pectin. beautiful glowing peach color and a warm green jalapeno flavor without a lot of heat. lovely little jam. thanks!

  11. Had a little problem with the measuring. Regular jams call for cup measurements and only use the weight measures for advice for purchase. Most recipes for peach jam call for 4 cups of fruit to 7-1/2 cups of sugar and to make it even more confusing, the liquid pectin recipe calls for 2 3 oz bags of liquid pectin. Also you don’t say whether or not you use the membrane and seeds of the peppers. I’m just going to go ahead with my gut feeling as I do this … I’ve been canning and preserving for more than 50 plus years so I’m not a novice at this. I’ll let you know how it comes out.

    • Hi Bunny

      Yes please let me know how your recipe turns out. I’ve been making this jam for many years and in the 20+ years of jam making I have never used 2 pouches of liquid pectin in any jam or jelly recipe.

      • I just made this last night. I followed the directions to a “T”. I’m also new at canning myself but have watch my mom for many years. I assumed it was 3.5 pounds of sliced peaches and I made it with one pouch of pectin. Cooked accordingly. My jam didn’t set up, unfortunately. Bummer too because they were going to be Christmas presents. Good flavor though.

  12. I just bought a sm. box of peaches for a cobbler. Last year made my first batch of hot pepper jelly. Thought I would add peaches to my hot pepper jelly this year. So glad I found your website and recipe. I will let ya’ll know how it tastes.

  13. Sounds yummy. Think this could be made with frozen peaches, as there’s not a fresh peach to be had around here at this time?

      I have never tried this recipe with frozen peaches. The texture of a frozen peach is very different. But if you drain the frozen peaches well it would probably work. You just may not get the chunks of peaches like you would with fresh.

      • Thanks for answering my question. I think you’re right – I’ll hang onto this recipe and try it during the summer.

        Thanks!

          • i used frozen and it turned out great. Although, i forgot the lemon juice since it’s not in the steps of the recipe. What was the lemon juice for? the ph or to keep the peaches from browning? wondering if i should recook/can it.

            So sorry I left that out of the recipe. Did you use any lemon juice on the frozen peaches to prevent browning? The lemon juice is for the ph and for the browning. Instead of remaking the jam you could store it in the refrigerator and use it up quickly.
