Spicy Peach Jalapeno Jam
This Spicy Peach Jalapeno Jam is sweet with a subtle kick from the peppers. It’s great served with cheese and crackers.
After making some peach pie bars, jam, and sorbet, I still had over-ripened peaches staring me in the face. Since I’m still newly-smitten with the whole canning process, I decided to make more jam. But this time I wanted to spice things up a bit. I had a few jalapenos hanging around the kitchen, so I decided to make a spicy jam.
As much as I’m a wimp when it comes to spicy foods, I was wishing this jam had more of a kick. I think I’m definitely getting over my spicy-wimpyness. Next time I make this, I’ll definitely leave the seeds from all three jalapenos in the jam.
I shared a couple jars of this jam with some friends and still had enough left over for Hubby and I to enjoy. We cracked one jar open right away and have been snacking on it with cheese and crackers. I also recently poured some over some warm brie and served it with a baguette to some friends for a snack. It was definitely a huge hit.

how did you manage to get yours looking lyke the crumbly toppings of a muffin? my are so darn smooth!!! gosh.. yours look reallie enticing. great job!
Cakey is just the word I was looking for! We gobbled these all up in flash!
I’m not sure how I did it. I just followed the directions… I used frozen blueberries and my batter definitely looked like ice cream out of the fridge. I love cakey cookies so these really hit the spot for me!
Those do look like muffin tops (the yummy part). I enjoyed the cakey cookies too!
I this her’s probably looked more bumpy is because she didn’t chop her rhubarb as finely, so it didn’t break down as much. You can end up with Rhubarb sauce fairly easily.
