Peach and Raspberry Jam

With so much fruit available in the summer making my Peach and Raspberry Jam is the greatest way to savouring it for future months.

This is a fantastic jam for summer and it lasts really well if you make a few bottles for the store cupboard. It might sound unusual but I promise you it’s a winning flavour. If you like tarter jam add limes instead of lemons. It really brings out the flavour of the raspberries a lot more too. Last time I used two lemons and one lime and it was a great combo.

During the summer month when fruit is plentiful I tend to over buy especially when it is on offer. When I made this I accidentally bought way too many peaches one day and had a few packets of raspberries in the fridge already. I decided to have a go turning them into jam. I tried perfecting this recipe a few times and this is the best I came up with for amounts.

I absolutely love the colour of this jam. A few batches were a little more yellow than red. I think it depends on the fruit and how many raspberries you use. I’m a big of raspberries in jam so I tend to add a few extra. And leave a few for snacking on while I’m making it.

The recipe for my Peach and Raspberry Jam was very simple and although it takes a while for the jam to simmer down it’s really relaxing. I really love watching how fruit can boil down into delicious jam and last for so long.

You will need to strain the jam if you don’t want bits as the skin will stick out a bit. If you cut up the peaches pretty small the skin isn’t too much of a problem if you like chunky jam.

You will also want to sterilise your jam jars, you can do this in the oven or in the air fryer.

    Just about to make some Nectarine Jam and whilst researching recipes I stumbled across your bog/recipes – the cakes look wonderful.
    I was a bit worried about your jam photo though as it appears to show your jars not full to the top. I have always been taught to fill up to just below rim of jar to avoid the risk of mould. If you leave a lot of space it allows air to be trapped and condensation to form once the lids are on. You might get mould forming quite quickly if this happens.

    • Thank you Maura for your tip. The one which wasn’t full was eaten straight away. Unfortunately I didn’t have any smaller jars when I made it. I didn’t want to leave that much space. The jams had the jam grease proof paper seals on to keep them better.
