Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh peaches
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup champagne or sparkling wine
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons powdered low-sugar pectin
Instructions
1. Prepare your peaches by peeling, pitting, and chopping them into small chunks. Measure 4 cups of chopped peaches and set them aside.
2. In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the chopped peaches, champagne, and lemon juice. Use a potato masher to crush the peaches slightly, leaving some chunks for texture.
3. Gradually stir in the powdered low-sugar pectin until it is fully dissolved.
4. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
5. Once the mixture reaches a rolling boil (a boil that does not stop bubbling when stirred), add the granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
6. Return the mixture to a rolling boil and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
7. Remove the saucepan from heat. Skim off any foam that forms on the surface using a spoon.
8. Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top. Wipe the rims of the jars clean and seal with sterilized lids and rings.
9. Process the jars in a boiling-water canner for 10 minutes (adjust for altitude if necessary). Remove the jars and allow them to cool completely at room temperature.
10. Check the seals on the jars before storing. Store any unsealed jars in the refrigerator and use within a few weeks.
11. Enjoy your Reduced Sugar Peach Champagne Jam on toast, scones, or as a filling for pastries!
