Print Recipe

A cozy and soulful homemade peach jam infused with warm cinnamon and delicate cardamom, perfect for breakfast or any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (600g) fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and chopped
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • ¼ cup (60ml) water
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel the peaches by blanching them in boiling water for 30-60 seconds, then plunge into ice water to slip off skins. Pit and chop into roughly 1-inch chunks. (About 10 minutes)
  2. In a large pot, combine chopped peaches, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir gently and let sit for 20-30 minutes to macerate.
  3. Stir in ground cinnamon, cardamom, a pinch of salt (if using), and water. Turn heat to medium.
  4. Bring mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to maintain a steady simmer. Stir frequently to avoid sticking and burning. Simmer for 25-30 minutes.
  5. Test jam consistency by placing a spoonful on a chilled plate. Let cool for a minute, then run your finger through it. If it wrinkles and holds shape, jam is ready; if not, continue simmering and test every 5 minutes.
  6. Optional: For smoother jam, use a potato masher or immersion blender to break down larger pieces, but keep some texture for homemade feel.
  7. Sterilize jars and lids by boiling or running through a hot dishwasher cycle while jam cooks.
  8. Ladle hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about ¼ inch headspace. Seal tightly.
  9. Let jars cool at room temperature before refrigerating or processing in a water bath for longer shelf life.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to hold texture. Macerate fruit with sugar and lemon juice before cooking to preserve fresh flavor. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Test jam set with chilled plate method. Jam thickens as it cools. Freshly ground spices enhance flavor. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained. Variations include adding ginger, reducing sugar with pectin or chia seeds, or omitting cardamom.
