Summer Sweet Peach Jam

Disclosure: This Peach Jam recipe has been sponsored by the Washington State Fruit Commission. I received a box of Washington State Peaches to help me create this peach jam as part of the Canbassador program. All opinions are my own.

It is peach season and I was lucky enough to receive a nice big box of peaches and nectarines from the Washington State Fruit Commission so I could can with them and a recipe with all of you. This canning recipe is a popular way to preserve fresh peaches during the summer.

Last year I also had the pleasure of working with the Washington Fruit Commission and shared this recipe for canned Vanilla Spiced Peaches.  After I made a big batch of the Spiced Peaches I still had some beautiful Washington State Peaches left and made this Balsamic Roasted Peach Vanilla Butter recipe.

For the past couple of years, I have been having fun canning some really awesome fruit flavor combinations. It has been a long time since I made a batch of plain Peach Jam. Now when I say plain I don't mean boring. I mean a simple peach jam with no other ingredients.

Peach jam has always been one of my favorite jam flavors. I love dipping jalapeno poppers in peach jam. It tastes so good. If you've never tried it you should!

I have to say I am so impressed with the stone fruit from Washington State. Last month they also sent me some Washington State sweet cherries. I made a couple of batches of Cherry Vanilla Pie filling with them. Then I made a Cherry Slab Pie with the Cherry Vanilla Pie Filling.

I think the Washington State Fruit Commission has ruined it for me and my kid. The cherries were so sweet and delicious. After they were all gone we picked up another brand of sweet cherries at the grocery store when they were on sale.

I kid you not my daughter wouldn't even eat them because the Washington State cherries tasted so much better. When I asked her why she wasn't eating the cherries we bought she told me because they tasted terrible compared to the Washinton State Sweet Cherries.

So now we have Washington State peaches and nectarines and it's the same thing all over again. The Washington State Peaches and Nectarines were so sweet and juicy. As a test, I picked up some other peaches and compared the flavors.

I have to say there really isn't a comparison. I don't know what I am going to do. Well, that's not true. I do know what I am going to do. I am going to be checking those labels to make sure when I am buying cherries, peaches,  and nectarines that they have been grown in Washington State.

    Oh my goodness! My mother-in-law and I have wanted to try canning peaches. Thank you for this recipe!!! I have to say, when you (or if you) get over to France in July, try flat peaches/Saturn peaches. You can get them here and they are delicious when really ripe, but it's fun to eat them out of country, lol! 🙂 I'm happy to have featured your post at last week's Share Your Style #435 for you. 🙂

    Have a great week,
    Barb 🙂

    An amazing jam - love peach jam, and made lots years ago, but now not anymore as we hardly use it with no kids in the house. Bookmarked it

    Is it best to use ripe or firm peaches?

      Hi Kayla firm but ripe peaches are recommended. If the peaches are firm but still ripe enough that you would bite into it to eat it. You wouldn't want to use the peaches for jam if they are hard and not ripe enough to eat. I hope that makes sense.

    I have a question: why do you make cooked peach jam? I make fresh peach Freezer Jam and to me it tastes much more like fresh peaches than the cooked jam. I just don’t get it, when you are delivered premium fresh fruit??

      Hi Susan because water bathed jam will last up to 2 years and does not take up room in my freezer.

    I’ve made peach jam for a number of years and have always followed the “Certo” recipe that is included in the packaging…until now! This IS the same recipe except for the extra lemon juice, the extended boil and processing that left the jam perfectly set with superior flavour and a deep rich colour.

    So is it 1/2 cup lemon juice in total? It says 1/4 cup to the sliced and then it says 1/4 again to the pot when you boil, just wanted to confirm the amount before making
    Thanks

      Megan the lemon juice in the bowl is to keep the peaches from browning as you work with them before you start cooking the jam.

    When you say water bath for 10 minutes in hot water, does it need to boil for 10 minutes?

      Rhonda yes you must rapidly boil the jars in the hot water bath canner for 10 minutes. You should also check for your altitude and adjust the time if needed.
