Ingredients
This rosemary flavoured peach jam need fresh peaches, rosemary, sugar and lemon.
You can use any peach available in the market, but if you have an option select Clingstone Peaches.
Use ripe peaches and not over ripe, ones that are soft and ready to use. The skin in these peaches comes out easier and the jam also tastes the best with such fresh peaches.
You can even use frozen peaches if fresh peaches are not avaialble. Just substitute an equal amount of frozen fruit for fresh fruit in this recipe.
Make sure you thaw frozen peaches to room temperature. Also don’t drain the excess juice that is produced from the thawing process, it can be used in making the jam.
You can also make this jam with other seasonal fruits such as Raspberry, Blueberry, Apricot and Blackberry.
As you are making it at home, you can always adjust the amount of sugar as per your taste preference.
Frequently asked Questions:
