Description

A simple and delicious Small Batch Vanilla Peach Jam made with just three ingredients—perfect for beginners and easy to store in the fridge.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds peaches, about 12 peaches, pit removed and finely chopped
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Wash the peaches thoroughly, cut them in half, remove the pits, and dice them into small pieces.
  2. Add the diced peaches and sugar to a medium-sized saucepan. Set the heat to medium and stir occasionally until the mixture begins to bubble.
  3. Once the mixture starts to bubble, reduce the heat to simmer and stir every 15-20 minutes, making sure to break down the peaches as they soften.
  4. When the jam has thickened to your desired consistency, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Carefully pour the hot jam into clean, sterilized jars, wiping the rims to ensure no jam is on them.
  6. Seal the jars with new lids and let them sit undisturbed for about 12 hours. You will hear a popping sound as the jars seal.
  7. Once sealed, refrigerate the jam. It will stay fresh for up to six months in the fridge.

Notes

  • If using frozen peaches, allow extra cooking time to cook off the additional water they release.
  • For a thicker jam, cook it longer to evaporate more water.
  • If you prefer a smoother jam, you can blend the peaches before cooking.
  • Peach skins can be removed by blanching the peaches or by simply wiping off the fuzz with a kitchen towel.
