Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (chopped) Fresh peaches (ripe and pitted)
- 2 cups Ripe bananas (mashed)
- 2.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
Wash the peaches thoroughly, then peel, pit, and chop them into small pieces.
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the chopped peaches, mashed bananas, sugar, lemon juice, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir well to dissolve the sugar completely.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Lower the heat to maintain a steady simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
As the fruit softens, use a potato masher or immersion blender to achieve your desired jam consistency. For a smoother jam, blend the mixture thoroughly.
Continue simmering the jam for 35-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and passes the 'wrinkle test' (see note below).
Once thickened, carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top. Seal with lids and rings.
If desired, process the jars in a water bath canner for 10 minutes to ensure longer shelf life. Otherwise, let the jam cool to room temperature and refrigerate.
Store the jam in the fridge for up to 3 weeks or in a cool, dark pantry (if canned) for up to 1 year.
