A simple, quick, and delicious small batch honey peach jam recipe that requires no pectin, perfect for beginners and made with fresh peaches, honey, lemon juice, and cinnamon.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups fresh peaches, peeled and chopped
  • 1/3 cup raw honey
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. Prep your peaches by blanching them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunge into ice water to slip off skins. Pit and chop into 1/2 inch pieces to yield about 3 cups.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine chopped peaches, 1/4 cup water, and 1/3 cup honey. Stir gently and bring to a simmer over medium heat (about 5 minutes).
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered, stirring every few minutes to prevent sticking, for about 15 minutes until peaches soften and mixture thickens slightly.
  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Continue simmering for another 15–20 minutes until jam coats the back of a spoon but remains spoonable.
  5. Test consistency by placing a spoonful on a chilled plate; if it wrinkles and doesn’t flood back after cooling for a minute, it’s ready. If too runny, simmer a few more minutes.
  6. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then transfer to clean jars and refrigerate. Jam will thicken further as it cools and is best eaten within 2 weeks.

Notes

Stir gently but regularly to avoid burning. Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture. Lemon juice helps natural thickening. Test jam set with a chilled plate. Jam thickens more as it cools. Store refrigerated up to 2 weeks or freeze up to 3 months.
