Maple Vanilla Peach Jam

Print Recipe

A sweet and luscious jam made with ripe peaches, enhanced with maple syrup and vanilla for a nostalgic summer delight.

Ingredients

  • Fresh Peaches (6 cups, peeled and chopped)
  • Granulated Sugar (1 cup)
  • Maple Syrup (½ cup)
  • Vanilla Extract (1 teaspoon)
  • Lemon Juice (2 tablespoons)
  • Pectin (1 packet, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep your peaches: Start by peeling the peaches. Blanch them in hot water for about 30 seconds to slip the skins off. Chop them up and measure out 6 cups.
  2. Place them in a large heavy-bottom pot over medium heat.
  3. Add sugar and maple syrup: Sprinkle the granulated sugar and drizzle in the maple syrup. Stir it all together and let it sit for about 15 minutes to macerate.
  4. Heat it up: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 20 minutes, mashing the peaches to your desired consistency.
  5. Add lemon juice and vanilla: Stir in the lemon juice and vanilla extract. If using pectin, add it according to package instructions.
  6. Test the consistency: Place a spoonful on a chilled plate and run your finger through it. If it holds its shape, it’s ready.
  7. Prepare the jars: Sterilize your canning jars in a hot oven for about 10-15 minutes.
  8. Fill the jars: Pour the hot jam into each sterilized jar, leaving about ¼ inch of headspace.
  9. Seal them up: Place the lids on the jars and screw them on until fingertip-tight.
  10. Process the jars: If canning for long-term storage, process in a boiling water bath for about 10 minutes.
  11. Cool and store: Remove the jars and set them on a clean towel to cool.
