A sweet and spicy homemade peach jalapeño jam with fresh ginger and apple cider vinegar, perfect for spreading on toast or gifting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and chopped
  • 1–2 medium jalapeño peppers, finely chopped (seeds removed for milder heat)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 package (about 1.75 oz) fruit pectin (such as Sure-Jell)
  • ½ cup water

Instructions

  1. Wash and peel about 4 cups (about 6 medium) of ripe peaches. Blanch in boiling water for 30 seconds, then dunk in ice water to loosen the skin. Chop into small chunks, leaving some texture. (10-15 minutes)
  2. Remove stems and finely chop 1-2 jalapeño peppers. Remove seeds and membranes for less heat. Use gloves if sensitive. (5 minutes)
  3. Grate 1 tablespoon fresh ginger using a microplane or fine grater. (2 minutes)
  4. In a large heavy-bottomed pot, combine chopped peaches, jalapeños, grated ginger, 1 ½ cups sugar, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, and ½ cup water. Stir well. (3 minutes)
  5. Place pot over medium-high heat and bring mixture to a full rolling boil, stirring frequently. Once boiling, sprinkle fruit pectin evenly over the surface and stir vigorously for 1 minute. (5 minutes)
  6. Lower heat slightly to maintain a steady boil. Continue stirring and cooking for 10-15 minutes until jam thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Skim off any foam. (10-15 minutes)
  7. Test jam consistency by placing a spoonful on a chilled plate. Let sit 1-2 minutes, then run finger through it. If it wrinkles and stays separated, it’s ready; if not, simmer a few minutes longer. (2-3 minutes)
  8. Ladle hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about ¼ inch headspace. Wipe rims clean, seal with lids, and let cool at room temperature. Refrigerate once cooled. (10 minutes)

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushy jam. Stir frequently and avoid high heat to prevent burning. Test jam set with the plate test. Adjust jalapeño seeds to control heat. Sterilize jars by boiling for 10 minutes or using a hot dishwasher cycle. For lower sugar, reduce sugar by ¼ cup but expect a runnier jam. Substitute milder peppers or omit jalapeños for less heat. Fresh ginger is preferred over powdered for best flavor.
