  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 32 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 medium peaches
  • 4–5 small jalapeños (seeded and chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3 cups granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Peel and pit the peaches, then chop them finely. Wash the jalapeños, remove seeds for milder flavor, and chop finely.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine chopped peaches, jalapeños, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Heat over medium-high until boiling.
  3. Stir in sugar once boiling and continue stirring until dissolved. Maintain a rolling boil for 15-20 minutes until thickened.
  4. Test consistency with a metal spoon; if it coats the back without dripping quickly, it's ready.
  5. Transfer hot jam into clean jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of space at the top. Seal and let cool to room temperature.
