Delicious Peach Jam Recipe

Peach Jam, yum! It’s August and what’s in season – Peaches. I was at the grocery store the other day and peaches were on sale for 77 cents. Went there for more nectarines but they were not on sale anymore so instead I bought peaches.

The best time to make fruit jams is during the summer time while fruits are in season. If you love manggo, try this mango jam, you will love it!

Taking a spoon of peach jam in a jar. A whole peach and slices of peaches on the table.

I love to eat fruits that are in season. Depending on the fruit, I like freezing fresh fruits like pineapple to last me for a few months for smoothie.

Consuming fresh peaches was not my thing until 7 years ago. I love canned peaches but not fresh. When I eat fruits I don’t like it too ripe. Banana when it starts getting brown patches it ends up in my freezer for my smoothie. That is the reason why I was never fond of peaches. If consumed while firm, it’s not too good but if I wait a little longer it’s mushy. But I love it in my smoothie.

I guess I missed out on something delicious for a long time. It’s never too late. Seven years ago I experimented making peach smoothie and it was amazingly delicious. Started making cocktails like Peach Bellini and Peach Mojitos. Who doesn’t like these refreshing drinks especially during summer.

Another way we prepare peaches is making peach jam. This peach jam recipe is so easy to make with only five ingredients. Making your own jam you never have to worry with chemicals or preservatives.

Take advantage of peach season. They are so sweet and cheap at this time of year. A great time to make peach jam.  Serve it for breakfast, or as a snack or as gifts to family and friends. Look at that color.... it is mesmerizing.

Do i peel the peaches

No, I don’t. If you don’t want the skin then peel it before making the jam.

Should I refrigerate jam and i freeze it

Yes, once the peach jam has cooled down transfer to an air tight container and refrigerate. You can freeze it too.
