Opinions differ how this jam tastes best. Some members of our family like it as a spread on toast, others add it to a bowl of natural yogurt. Both are very tasty.

Time 30m

Yield 90

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

4 ½ cups finely chopped, peeled peaches
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 cups sugar
1 (1.75 ounce) package fruit pectin (such as Sure-Jell® Pectin Light for less or no sugar)
⅓ cup amaretto liqueur, or more to taste

Steps:

Inspect 5 half-pint jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until jam is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
Mix peaches with lemon juice in a large pot immediately after chopping to prevent peaches from turning brown. Place pot over medium heat.
Mix 1/4 cup of the sugar with pectin and add it to the pot with the peaches. Stir well. Slowly bring to a full rolling boil that does not stop bubbling when stirred. Add the remaining sugar and stir well, scraping the bottom of the pot, to fully dissolve the sugar. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and stir in amaretto liqueur.
Ladle peach jam immediately into the prepared jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any spills. Top with lids and tightly screw on rings.
Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.
Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart. Let rest for 24 hours without moving the jars. Gently press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

PEACH LIQUEUR

Time P2m29DT15m

Yield 750 ml

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 cup peach, diced
3 cups vodka
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon glycerin (optional)

Steps:

In a quart jar, add peaches, 1 cup sugar, and vodka. (I use frozen peaches as the freezing process breaks down the cell walls, allowing you to get more juice)
Seal jar tightly, and place in a dry, dark place for about 2 weeks.
After two weeks, strain the liquid using a double layer of cheese cloth. Gently squeeze the peaches, getting as much juice from the peaches as possible.
In a fresh quart jar, add the second cup of sugar, water to top and the strained liquid. Seal and store again in a dark place until sugar is dissolved.
Once the sugar has all dissolved, bottle the resulting liqueur in a fresh bottle and let age for roughly 3 months.

Tips:

Select ripe and flavorful peaches: The quality of your peaches will directly impact the taste of your liqueur. Choose peaches that are fragrant, juicy, and free of blemishes.
Use a variety of peaches: If you have access to different varieties of peaches, try using a mix to create a more complex flavor profile. White peaches, yellow peaches, and donut peaches all have slightly different flavor profiles that can complement each other well.
Adjust the sweetness to your preference: The amount of sugar you add to your liqueur will determine its sweetness. If you prefer a sweeter liqueur, add more sugar. If you prefer a less sweet liqueur, reduce the amount of sugar or omit it altogether.
Use high-quality vodka: The vodka you use will also impact the taste of your liqueur. Choose a vodka that is smooth and neutral in flavor. Avoid using flavored vodkas, as these can overpower the delicate flavor of the peaches.
Let the liqueur age: Aging your liqueur will allow the flavors to develop and mellow. The longer you age it, the more complex the flavor will become. If you can, let your liqueur age for at least two weeks before enjoying it.

Conclusion:

Peach liqueur is a delicious and versatile spirit that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It can be sipped neat, on the rocks, or mixed with other ingredients to create cocktails. It also makes a great addition to desserts and other culinary creations. With a little time and effort, you can easily make your own peach liqueur at home. So next time you have a surplus of peaches, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
