Ingredients:
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 3 fresh peaches
- 3 tablespoons fresh ginger, finely grated
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
Instructions:
-
Prepare Peaches:
- Begin by preparing the peaches. Place them in boiling water for about a minute, or until the skins start to loosen.
- Quickly transfer the peaches to a bowl of ice water to halt the cooking process.
- Once cooled, peel off the skins, halve the peaches, and remove the pits. Proceed to cut them into 1-inch pieces.
-
Combine Ingredients:
- In a large, non-reactive pot, combine the prepared peaches with granulated sugar, finely grated ginger, lemon juice, and a dash of allspice. Stir gently to ensure all ingredients are well mixed.
-
Simmer:
- Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Allow the jam to cook for approximately 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. As it cooks, the mixture will gradually thicken and coat the back of a spoon.
-
Test for Doneness:
- To check if the jam is ready, perform a spoon test. Dip a chilled spoon into the mixture and observe if it coats the back of the spoon and forms a thickened consistency. If it does, your jam is ready.
-
Ladle into Jars:
- Once the jam has reached the desired consistency, remove it from the heat.
- Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving a small gap at the top to allow for expansion during cooling.
-
Storage:
- Seal the jars tightly and allow them to cool to room temperature before transferring them to the refrigerator.
- Your Ginger-Peach Jam can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 months, ready to be enjoyed whenever you crave a burst of fruity goodness.
