A quick and easy no-pectin refrigerator jam combining sweet peaches with spicy jalapeños for a fresh, flavorful spread perfect for toast, cheese boards, and grilled meats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups peeled and diced fresh peaches (about 67 medium peaches)
  • 12 jalapeño peppers, finely chopped (seeds removed for less spice)
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar (can substitute with coconut sugar, honey, or maple syrup)
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • ¼ cup water

Instructions

  1. Wash, peel, and dice about 4 cups (6-7 medium) of ripe peaches. Set aside.
  2. Remove stems, slice jalapeños in half, and finely chop 1-2 peppers depending on heat preference. Remove seeds for less spice.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 ½ cups granulated sugar with ¼ cup water. Heat gently over medium-low heat, stirring until sugar dissolves completely.
  4. Stir diced peaches and chopped jalapeños into the sugar syrup. Increase heat slightly and bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Mash some peaches with the back of a spoon or potato masher to achieve desired jam consistency.
  6. Stir in 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice during the last 5 minutes of simmering.
  7. Remove from heat and let cool for about 30 minutes. Transfer jam to clean glass jars or airtight containers and store in the refrigerator.
  8. Consume within 3 weeks.

Notes

If jam is too runny, simmer longer; if too thick, add a splash of water. Keep heat medium-low to avoid scorching. Use ripe peaches for best natural pectin and sweetness. Store jam refrigerated and consume within 3 weeks. Freezing is possible for longer storage.
