White Peach & Fresh Ginger Jam


Ingredients:
8 cups finely diced white peaches
vi cups sugar
1/4 loving cup bourbon (optional)
1/4 loving cup bottled lemon juice*
one vi oz box liquid pectin (2 packets)
ii inch chunk ginger, peeled

Directions:
Add the saccharide as well as peaches to a large pot. Prep jars/lids for canning. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally. Stab the ginger a few times alongside the tip of a knife. Add the lemon juice, bourbon as well as ginger. Boil for fifteen minutes or until thickened. Carefully mash, using a spud masher, whatever remaining large chunks. Add the pectin (both packets!). Continue cooking at a depression (rolling) boil for five minutes. Remove the ginger. Fill the jars. Wipe off the lip as well as body of body of water Process inwards the hot H2O bathroom for 10 minutes.

Yield: well-nigh vi 8-oz jars



Note: H5N1 nifty origin for canning data is the Blue Book guide to preserving. I highly recommend it for learning how to can. Here is a bunch of other canning books as well as equipment I detect useful.



*I used bottled lemon juice instead of fresh because peaches, peculiarly white peaches, are a depression acid fruit as well as non every lemon has the same acid level. It is of import to add together an acid to depression acid fruits as well as then it is security to H2O can.


My thoughts:
What is ameliorate than a fresh, inwards flavor peach? We went to a pick your ain house as well as piece Matt did most of the picking (peach fuzz makes my peel itch) nosotros ended upward alongside to a greater extent than than plenty peaches to consume out of mitt as well as to brand some jam. Peaches, peculiarly white peaches, are a depression pectin, depression acid fruit as well as then fifty-fifty alongside the added pectin it is a softer jam as well as you lot need to brand certain to add together acid (lemon juice) to arrive security for H2O canning. But neither takes away from the wonderful flavor of this jam. It is every bit roughly biting into a peach every bit you lot tin come upward without genuinely eating the peach. The ginger adds a background authorities annotation of spice that genuinely accentuates the peachiness. I can't facial expression to possess got it on toast, swirled into yogurt or baked into pastries.
