How to Make Jalapeno Peach Spread

  1. Wash and pit 2 pounds of ripe peaches. Finely chop 2-3 jalapenos, removing seeds for less heat or leaving them in for extra spice.
  2. Combine the chopped peaches and jalapenos in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped but not pureed.
  3. Pour the peach and jalapeno mixture into a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven.
  4. Add 1 ½ cups of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground allspice. Stir well to combine.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low.
  6. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring frequently, until the spread has thickened to a jam-like consistency. It should coat the back of a spoon.
  7. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  8. Ladle the hot spread into clean, sterilized, heat-resistant jars, leaving ½ inch headspace.
  9. Wipe the jar rims clean, seal with clean, sterilized lids, and rings.
  10. Let the jars cool completely to room temperature. You should hear a 'pop' as the jars seal.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving. This spread is not shelf-stable due to lack of water bath canning and should be refrigerated.
  12. Enjoy within one month, or two weeks after opening. Serve with cream cheese and crackers, or use as a topping for grilled chicken, pork, or ice cream!
