Helpful tips for this savory peach jam recipe
- Fresh rosemary should be used for this Peach Rosemary Jam recipe. Dry rosemary will not infuse the peach jam with the same amount of rosemary flavor as the oils that are present in fresh rosemary.
- Always follow current safety rules for water bath canning.
