PEACH-BOURBON JAM
Steps:
- Place 2 small plates in freezer to chill. Cut vanilla bean in half lengthwise. Using tip of paring knife, scrape out seeds. Stir vanilla bean and seeds, peaches, sugar, apple, bourbon, and lemon juice together in large saucepan, cover, and let sit for 20 minutes.
- Bring mixture to boil, stirring often, over medium-high heat. Once sugar is completely dissolved, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until peaches are softened, about 10 minutes.
- Off heat, crush fruit with potato masher until mostly smooth. Return mixture to boil over medium-high heat and cook, stirring and adjusting heat as needed, until mixture resisters 217°F-220°F, about 6 minutes. (Temperature will be lower at higher elevations.) Remove pot from heat and discard vanilla bean.
- To test consistency, place 1 teaspoon jam on chilled plate and freeze for 2 minutes. Drag your finger through jam on plate; jam has correct consistency when your finger leaves distinct trail. If runny, return pot to heat and simmer for 1 to 3 minutes longer before retesting. Skim any foam from surface of jam using spoon.
- Meanwhile, place two 1-cup jars in bowl and place under hot running water until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes; shake dry.
- Using funnel and ladle, portion hot jam into hot jars. Let cool to room temperature, cover, and refrigerate until jam is set, 12 to 24 hours. (Jam can be refrigerated for up to 2 months)
Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful peaches for the best jam. Look for peaches that are slightly soft to the touch and have a sweet aroma.
- If you don't have fresh peaches, you can use frozen or canned peaches. Just be sure to thaw frozen peaches before using them.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to make the jam. This will help to prevent the jam from burning.
- Stir the jam frequently while it is cooking. This will help to prevent the jam from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
- Use a candy thermometer to check the temperature of the jam. The jam is ready when it reaches 220 degrees Fahrenheit (105 degrees Celsius).
- Let the jam cool slightly before canning or storing it. This will help to prevent the jars from breaking.
Conclusion:
Peach bourbon jam is a delicious and easy-to-make jam that is perfect for enjoying on toast, biscuits, or pancakes. It also makes a great gift for friends and family. With its sweet and slightly boozy flavor, peach bourbon jam is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
