Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (peeled, pitted, and diced) Fresh peaches
- 2.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Amaretto liqueur
- 1 package (1.75 oz) Fruit pectin
Instructions
Start by preparing the peaches. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cut a small 'X' in the bottom of each peach, then blanch the peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds. Transfer them immediately to an ice bath. Peel the skins off, then pit and dice the peaches.
Measure 4 cups of diced peaches and transfer them to a large heavy-bottomed pot. Use a potato masher to mash the peaches slightly, leaving some small chunks for texture.
Add the granulated sugar and lemon juice to the pot. Stir to combine and let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the peaches to release their juices.
Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the peaches to soften further.
Stir in the fruit pectin and continue boiling for an additional 1-2 minutes. Stir constantly to ensure the pectin dissolves evenly.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the amaretto liqueur until well incorporated.
Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4-inch headspace at the top of each jar. Wipe the rims clean and seal with sterilized lids and bands.
Process the jars in a boiling water canner for 10 minutes to ensure the jam is shelf-stable. Adjust processing time for altitude as needed.
Remove the jars from the canner and let them cool completely. Check the seals before storing. Any unsealed jars should be refrigerated and used within a few weeks.
Enjoy your Fresh Peach Amaretto Jam on toast, biscuits, or as a luxurious topping for desserts!
