Want to try your hand ot this peach jam recipe? Make sure you have the following ingredients on hand:

How to Make Peach Jam


You’ll love how easy this jam recipe is to make (very similar to my strawberry jam recipe.)

To make the recipe, you basically combine the peaches, sugar and a bit of lemon juice in a saucepan saucepan. Crush the peaches with your spatula, boil for about 15 to 25 minutes and let cool.

Our peaches were super ripe and very sweet, so I was able to get away with using a bit less sugar. If your peaches are the same, I recommend starting out with 1/4 cup less sugar. Give the peaches a little taste test, and add more sugar if needed.

You do have to be careful with the amount of sugar though, there is a fine line between too much sugar and not enough sugar since the combo of sugar and lemon is what helps make this jam thicken!

Still have leftover peaches? Here are a couple more amazing recipes to use up all those peaches:

Poppy seed chicken casserole

Ingredients for Poppy Seed Chicken Classic Poppy Seed Chicken is made with cream of chicken soup, sour cream, LOTS of butter and Ritz crackers and is served over rice. This version starts by making homemade cream of chicken–don’t worry it only takes a takes a few minutes to make and the difference in quality is tremendous! And instead of the plain rice on the side, I chose to mix the rice right into the creamy sauce–that way this casserole is more hearty and the rice has so much more flavor! To make this casserole you will need: Leftover Chicken –Use Rotisserie Chicken, Instant Pot Roasted Chicken, Instant Pot Chicken Breasts, or Oven Roasted Chicken Breasts Cooked Rice –Both brown rice or white rice work. In fact, even quinoa works well. Homemade Cream of Chicken Soup –which just requires butter, flour, chicken stock, and a few seasonings. Butter Crackers –Ritz crackers are standard, but I like to purchase organic butter crackers that are free from hydrogenated oils.

Tomato sauce recipe

Marinara, or any simple pasta sauce, is something all cooks should learn how to make. Step 1: Add Olive Oil and Onions Use a wide skillet or a wide-bottomed pot. Start with plenty of olive oil and add diced onion. Sauté until translucent and very soft. Step 2: Season Season the onions with salt so they release their liquids. This will help to bring out the natural sweetness of the onions. Take your time with this — it’s the first step in layering good flavor. Step 3: Add Garlic Add in garlic and sauté until fragrant. Step 4: Crush Tomatoes Open a can of whole, peeled tomatoes and crush them with clean hands. The pros like to use San Marzano tomatoes for the best flavor. You can also use canned, chopped tomatoes if you're in a hurry. Most come packed with a basil leaf for flavor. Step 5: Add the Tomatoes and Simmer Add the tomatoes to the garlic and onions. Taste and season. Simmer for about 20 minutes until the flavors come together. Tip: If your sauce gets too th
