How to Make Ginger Peach Jam No Pectin Needed

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add peaches and blanch for 1 minute. Immediately transfer peaches to a bowl of ice water.
Once cool, slip off the peach skins. Halve the peaches and remove the pits.
Cut the peaches into 1-inch pieces.
In a large, non-reactive pot (stainless steel or enamel), combine the peaches, sugar, grated ginger, lemon juice, and allspice.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Continue to simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the jam has thickened significantly and mounds slightly on a spoon. (A good test is to place a small spoonful on a chilled plate; if it wrinkles when pushed, it's ready).
Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe the rims clean, seal, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (for longer shelf life, optional).
Let the jars cool completely. You should hear a satisfying 'pop' as the jars seal. Store in a cool, dark place for up to 2 months. Refrigerate after opening.
