Create a delightful Vanilla Bean Peach Jam from your summer peach harvest. This recipe offers a gourmet twist with real vanilla bean, perfect for spreading on toast or gifting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups chopped ripe peaches (about 3 pounds)
  • 4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 vanilla bean, split and scraped
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. Combine chopped peaches, sugar, vanilla bean seeds and pod, lemon juice, and water in a large pot.
  2. Stir well to combine.
  3. Let the mixture sit for 15-20 minutes to allow the sugar to draw out the juices from the peaches.
  4. Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring to a rolling boil, stirring occasionally.
  5. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the jam thickens. This can take 30-45 minutes. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
  6. To test for doneness, place a small amount of jam on a chilled plate. If it gels and doesn’t run, it’s ready.
  7. Remove the vanilla bean pod.
  8. Ladle the hot jam into clean jars, leaving about 1/4 inch headspace.
  9. Wipe the rims of the jars clean and secure with lids and bands.
  10. Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust time for altitude if necessary).
  11. Carefully remove the jars from the water bath and let them cool completely on a towel-lined counter.
  12. Check seals after 12-24 hours. If a lid doesn’t flex when pressed, the jar is sealed.

Notes

  • Ensure your peaches are ripe for the best flavor and texture.
  • Sterilize your canning jars and lids properly before filling.
  • Adjust sugar content based on the sweetness of your peaches.
