How to Make Cantaloupe Peach Jam
- Dice the cantaloupe and peaches into roughly 1/2-inch pieces.
- Combine the diced cantaloupe and peaches in a large, heavy-bottomed pot.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 15 minutes, or until the fruit begins to soften.
- Add the granulated sugar and lemon juice. Stir well to combine and dissolve the sugar.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30-45 minutes, or until the jam has thickened significantly. Use a spoon to check for setting – a small amount should wrinkle on a chilled plate.
- Stir in the finely grated lemon rind and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat.
- Skim off any foam that has formed on the surface of the jam.
- Ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4-inch headspace at the top of each jar.
- Remove air bubbles by gently running a non-metallic utensil around the inside of the jar.
- Wipe the rims of the jars clean.
- Place lids and bands on the jars, tightening to fingertip tightness.
- Process the filled jars in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude – consult a canning guide for specifics).
