How to Make Microwave Peach Jam With Orange Liqueur

  1. Combine 3 cups peeled and chopped fresh peaches and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar in a deep, 8-cup microwave-safe bowl.
  2. Stir in 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
  3. Microwave on high for 7 minutes, uncovered. Stir gently.
  4. Microwave on high for 3 minutes, uncovered. Stir gently.
  5. Continue microwaving in 3-minute intervals, uncovered, stirring gently after each interval, until the mixture reaches setting point (about 12-15 minutes total). The jam should thicken and sheet off a spoon.
  6. Remove from microwave and stir in ¼ cup orange liqueur.
  7. Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized half-pint jars, leaving ¼ inch headspace.
  8. Process in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes. Remove jars and let cool completely. You should hear a satisfying "pop" as the jars seal.
