This lightly honey sweetened spiced peach jam is not only delicious but an excellent way of dealing with an overabundance of peaches!

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds (907 grams) peaches about 8 medium peaches, peeled
  • 1/3 cup (106 grams) honey
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Instructions

  • Mix everything together in a medium non-reactive pot.
  • Bring to a light boil over medium-high heat and let it boil, uncovered, for 30-50 minutes or until thick enough for your liking. Stir occasionally and pay close attention after 30 minutes. The longer it cooks, the more often you need to stir. The amount of time will depend on how juicy your peaches are.
  • When you think your jam is thick enough, continue boiling and put some of the jam on a clean spoon and then put the spoon on a plate in the freezer. Let it sit for five minutes and then take it out. If the jam falls easily off the spoon when you turn it to the side, it’s not ready and you should continue cooking for another 5 minutes and try the test again.
  • Let cool and then pour the jam into jars and store in the fridge and for up 1 week. Freeze any leftovers after that.

Notes

  • If you want to be really exact, the weight after peeling them and removing the pits was 614 grams.
  • This jam is not heavily spiced. If you want the spices to be more pronounced, taste the jam towards the end of the cooking time and add more spices, if desired.
