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.

Spicy Peach Jam

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.

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.

Yield: Six 8-oz jars

Ingredients:

3.5 lb peaches, peeled, pitted, and chopped
3 jalapeno peppers, seeds removed from 2, chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
6 cups sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 Tbsp butter, optional
1 pouch liquid pectin

Directions:

Combine the peaches, jalapenos, bell pepper, sugar, and lemon juice in a dutch oven. Cook over medium heat for 30 minutes until peaches are completely softened. Stir periodically throughout the cooking time. If the the mixture starts to foam, add the butter.

Once the peaches are soft, add the liquid pectin. Stir and bring to a full rolling boil. Boil for 2 minutes and remove from heat.

Skim any remaining foam from the top and fill your jars leaving a 1/4 inch head space.

    Such a great dish. My only complaint is when people use canned green beans. The taste and texture can be killed with canned green beans. I don’t like to hear my green beans screeching while I chew them.

    This picture looks delicious, by the way.

    I love green bean casserole. It’s one of my favorite holiday recipes. Sometimes we spice things up and add browned ground beef to the green bean mixture and top it with mashed potatoes. This makes it more like a dinner casserole and then I can justify eating plates and plates of it…hahaha.

    Ya know, this looks good, but I’ve never been anywhere this was served. Seems I might be missing out?

    I completely agree with Joe. I always use fresh or frozen green beans.

    We make this every year too at Thanksgiving and Christmas.My 4 kids hate mushrooms so we use cream of celery or cream of chicken.

    I completely agree, this recipe is perfect (and very nostalgic) just the way it is on the package. It just wouldn’t feel like a holiday meal without this dish!

    This is one of my favorite holiday side dishes! Canned green beans, soup, and all! I agree with you about having the time and place for such ingredients; it’s such a classic and familiar recipe.
