This Peach Pineapple Jam blends ripe peaches and tropical pineapple into a vibrant, flavorful preserve perfect for spreading on toast or gifting.

Ingredients

3 cups finely chopped peaches

Juice of 1 lemon

1 cup crushed pineapple

5 1/2 cups sugar

1 package Sure-Jell (fruit pectin)

1/2 teaspoon butter (optional, to prevent foaming)

Instructions

  1. Peel and finely chop the peaches, squeezing lemon juice over each batch to prevent browning.
  2. Measure 3 cups of chopped peaches and mix with 1 cup crushed pineapple in a large bowl.
  3. Add any remaining lemon juice to the fruit mixture and stir well.
  4. In a large pot, combine the fruit mixture with the Sure-Jell and butter (if using). Bring to a full rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  5. Add all the sugar at once and stir well. Return to a rolling boil, stirring constantly.
  6. Boil hard for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
  7. Ladle hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch headspace.
  8. Wipe rims clean, seal with lids, and process jars in boiling water for 10 minutes.
  9. Remove jars and let cool completely at room temperature before storing.

Notes

  • Add a pinch of cinnamon or ginger for a warm spice twist.
  • Substitute crushed pineapple with mango for a tropical variation.
  • Use less sugar or a sugar substitute if desired; adjust pectin accordingly.
  • Add chopped fresh herbs like basil or mint for a unique flavor.
  • Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place up to 1 year; refrigerate after opening and use within 3 weeks.
  • Reheat gently for easier spreading; avoid boiling again to maintain texture.
