Peach Jam for the Bread Machine

I love peach season in Texas, I simply cannot get enough of it. So as the season is coming to a close I find myself reaching for recipes that allow me to prolong it just a little bit longer. For that I have found peach jam to do just the trick!

This recipe will work with any peaches, but I’ve found that the slightly smaller sized peaches of Texas give the perfect ratios, and just enough to fill a one cup mason jar. If you are planning on canning for the long haul though, this recipe can easily be scaled up.

Please note that this is a refrigerator safe jam, not designed for canning and preserving long term.

In the image, the jam is served on toasted Honey Whole Wheat bread.

Servings 1 cups

Ingredients

  

• 3 to 4 medium peaches
• ¾ cup sugar or to taste
• 2 Tbsp lemon juice
• 2 oz corn starch see notes

Instructions

 

• Blanch the peaches. (see notes) Peel and pit them. Place into food processor and pulse until peach segments are desired size. (I prefer about the size of small peas, but more or less chunky will give different textures of your final product as you prefer it)
• Combine the peaches, sugar, and lemon juice in a mixing bowl, and stir until the sugar is dissolved and ubiquitous through the mixture. Sprinkle with corn start (or other binding agent) and mix lightly again, adding the mixture to the pan of your bread machine.
• Program the machine for Jam cycle.
• Once the cycle is complete, you can either add the jam immediately to a glass jar, or allow to cool before adding to a different container.
• Can or refrigerate to your preference. (see note)

Notes

• The 2 oz of corn starch can be replaced with 2 oz of fruit pectin or 1/2 oz of xantham gum.
• To blanch the peaches, score the bottoms of them in an X pattern with a sharp knife. Place into boiling water (only one or two at a time if your peaches are cold) for 1-2 minutes. Transfer into ice water.
• Depending on your peaches they may not be acidic enough to store long term with strictly water bath canning. Test your batch to make sure you can save them safely. I default this to a refrigerator recipe.
