How to Make Spiced Peach Jam

  1. Combine all ingredients in a large, heavy-bottomed pot.
  2. Stir well to ensure even distribution of spices and sugar.
  3. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat as needed to maintain a steady boil.
  4. Boil for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the fruit to soften and release its juices.
  5. Using a potato masher, gently crush the peaches to your desired consistency. Some prefer chunky jam, while others prefer a smoother texture.
  6. Continue to boil for an additional 5-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the jam begins to thicken and set. To check for doneness: place a small spoonful of jam onto a chilled plate. If the jam wrinkles slightly when pushed with your finger, it’s ready.
  7. Remove the cinnamon stick.
  8. Carefully pour the hot jam into 4 sterilized 8-oz jars, leaving about 1/4 inch headspace.
  9. Wipe the jar rims clean.
  10. Cover the jars with lids and rings.
  11. For shelf-stable storage, process the jars in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes. (Ensure jars are fully submerged.)
  12. Remove jars from the water bath using a jar lifter and place them on a towel to cool.
  13. Let the jars cool completely. You should hear a 'pop' sound as the jars seal.
