Ingredients for - Ginger Peach Jam
How to cook deliciously - Ginger Peach Jam
1. Stage
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and fill a large bowl halfway with cold water and ice.
2. Stage
Score a shallow "x" onto the bottom of each peach. When water is boiling, add peaches and let poach for 45 seconds. Remove peaches and immediately shock them in ice bath. When they are cool enough to handle (this should only take a minute) remove peaches from ice bath and peel off skin. Remove pits and roughly chop peaches.
3. Stage
Place peaches into a large heavy bottomed pot and toss with lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally and using your spoon to crush some of the fruit, until peaches are soft and releasing juices, 13 to 15 minutes. Add sugar, lemon zest, and ginger if using, and stir to combine.
4. Stage
Increase heat to medium-high and bring mixture to a boil. Boil, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes.
5. Stage
Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until jam is thick, 30 minutes-1 hour depending on peaches.
6. Stage
Remove from heat, transfer to jars, and let cool completely before serving.
