Print Recipe

A simple, quick, and delicious small-batch fresh peach jam made with honey and vanilla, perfect for breakfast or brunch. This recipe uses fresh peaches and natural sweeteners without pectin or preservatives.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and chopped
  • 1/3 cup raw honey
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • Optional: pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Prep the Peaches (10 minutes): Wash peaches thoroughly. Peel using a paring knife or vegetable peeler, then chop into roughly 1/2-inch pieces. Remove pits carefully.
  2. Combine Ingredients (5 minutes): In a medium saucepan, add chopped peaches, honey, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and water. Stir gently to mix.
  3. Simmer the Jam (30-40 minutes): Place saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to low heat. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook until peaches soften and mixture thickens to a jammy consistency.
  4. Check Consistency (5 minutes): Place a small spoonful on a chilled plate and let cool for a minute. If it wrinkles when pushed with a finger, jam is ready. If not, continue simmering and check every 5 minutes.
  5. Cool and Store (10 minutes): Remove from heat. Let cool a few minutes, then spoon into clean glass jars. Cool completely before sealing. Store in refrigerator and use within two weeks.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture. Cook on low heat to avoid burning or separation. Stir occasionally, not constantly. Lemon juice helps preserve freshness and color. Sterilize jars before storing jam. For vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained.
