Servings: 4
Calories: 65kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups peaches ripe, about 2-3 medium peaches
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 3 tablespoons coconut sugar
Instructions
- Start by removing the skin from the peaches. The best way to do this is by blanching them in hot water. If you are unsure how to blanch peaches, follow these instructions: Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and gently lower the washed peaches into the water. Alternatively, place the peaches in a large bowl and pour boiling water over top. Boil for 60 seconds then drain and transfer the peaches to an ice bath (a large bowl of cold water and ice cubes). Once the peaches are cool enough to handle, peel the skin off. It should remove very easily, leaving the fruit intact. Discard the peach skin.2 cups peaches
- Chop the peaches into small pieces. Discard the pits. Place the chopped peaches, lemon juice, and coconut sugar in a medium saucepan and heat over medium-high heat. Using a potato masher, press down on the fruit to break down the peaches.2 tablespoons lemon juice, 3 tablespoons coconut sugar
- Continue to cook over medium heat about 20-30 minutes until the consistency is thick and jam-like. If mixture begins to burn or stick to the bottom of the pot, add a bit of water, about 1 tablespoon.
- Allow the hot jam to cool. It will thicken more as it cools to room temperature. Place in clean jars and in the fridge for up to 3 weeks or in the freezer for up to one year. Spread on your favorite toast or eat by the spoonf
Notes
- This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled.
- Jam can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 weeks or frozen. If freezing, be sure to leave about ½ -1 inch headspace to allow for expansion. Jam will keep in the freezer for about a year.
