Peach And Raspberry Jam Recipes

Steps:

• Immerse ten 12-ounce jars in simmering water until jam is ready. Wash lids and rings in warm soapy water.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add peaches, 3 or 4 at a time; cook for 30 seconds. Immerse in ice water for several minutes to stop the cooking process. Drain. Peel off skins, core and dice peaches into small pieces.
• Combine diced peaches, sugar, raspberries, and lemon juice in a large pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high; cook at a rapid boil for 10 minutes. Stir in liquid and powdered pectin; bring back to a boil. Remove from heat and skim foam off the jam with a slotted spoon.
• Pack jam into hot jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and 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 if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool, 12 to 24 hours. Press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all).

Steps:

• Rinse five 1-cup plastic containers and lids with boiling water. Dry thoroughly. , Place peaches in a large bowl. In a small bowl, mash raspberries; strain to remove seeds if desired. Add raspberries and lemon juice to peaches. Stir in sugar. Let stand 10 minutes. In a small saucepan, bring water and pectin to a full rolling boil. Boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add to fruit mixture; stir 2-3 minutes or until sugar is dissolved., Immediately fill all containers to within 1/2 in. of tops. Wipe off top edges of containers. Cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Cover and let stand overnight or until set, but not longer than 24 hours. , Jam is now ready to use. Refrigerate up to 3 weeks or freeze up to 1 year. Thaw frozen jam in refrigerator before serving.

Steps:

• Bring boiling-water canner, half full with water, to simmer. Wash jars and screw bands in hot soapy water; rinse with warm water. Pour boiling water over flat lids in saucepan off the heat. Let stand in hot water until ready to use. Drain well before filling.
• Crush raspberries thoroughly, 1 layer at a time. (Strain half of the pulp to remove seeds, if desired.) Measure 2 cups prepared raspberries into 6- or 8-qt. saucepot. Peel, pit and finely chop peaches. Measure exactly 2 cups prepared peaches into saucepot with raspberries; stir until well blended. Add lemon juice; mix well.
• Stir pectin into prepared fruit mixture in saucepot. Add butter to reduce foaming. Bring mixture to full rolling boil (a boil that doesn't stop bubbling when stirred) on high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in sugar. Return to full rolling boil and boil exactly 1 min., stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.
• Ladle immediately into prepared jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with 2-piece lids. Screw bands tightly. Place jars on elevated rack in canner. Lower rack into canner. (Water must cover jars by 1 to 2 inches. Add boiling water, if necessary.) Cover; bring water to gentle boil. Process 10 min. Remove jars and place upright on a towel to cool completely. After jars cool, check seals by pressing middle of lid with finger. (If lid springs back, lid is not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.)

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, combine all ingredients. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar has dissolved and mixture is bubbly, about 10 minutes. Bring to a full rolling boil; boil for 15 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; skim off foam. , Carefully ladle hot mixture into hot half-pint jars, leaving 1/4-in. headspace. Remove air bubbles, wipe rims and adjust lids. Process for 15 minutes in a boiling-water canner.

Steps:

• Combine the gin, jam and some ice cubes in a cocktail shaker. Shake for 15 seconds, then strain into a coupe glass. Top with a splash of sparkling water. Serve immediately.
• Combine the peaches, sugar and lemon juice in a nonreactive medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat and simmer, mashing the peaches occasionally with a potato masher, until the mixture thickens and sticks to a spoon, about 20 minutes.
• Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the raspberries. Let cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally. Transfer the jam to a nonreactive container with a lid and refrigerate until ready to use. The jam will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix the peaches, raspberries, 1/4 cup sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Allow to sit while proceeding with remaining steps.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Melt the butter in a 9x13 inch glass baking dish in the preheating oven, and evenly coat dish. Remove from heat.
• In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 cup sugar. Mix in milk just until dry ingredients are evenly moist. Pour evenly into the buttered baking dish. Scoop peach and raspberry mixture over the batter.
• Bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown.

Steps:

• The night before you make your jam, layer the berries, peaches and sugar in a very large bowl. Cover and set aside at room temperature.
• The next morning, give everything a good stir and set aside again until you're ready to start cooking. Put a small saucer in the freezer.
• Tip the raspberries and peaches, scraping out all the juices and any undissolved sugar, into a preserving pan (or use a large, wide-based pan - the wider and more open the pan, the faster the jam will be ready without the fruit cooking to mush). Stir in the lemon juice and cook over a very low heat until any remaining sugar is dissolved.
• Bring the mixture to the boil, then simmer for 5 mins. Turn off the heat and spoon a little of the hot jam onto the chilled saucer. Once cooled, push the jam with your finger - if it wrinkles a little, it has reached setting point. If it's still too runny to wrinkle, return the pan to the heat and boil in 2-min stages, removing the pan from the heat each time you repeat the saucer test, until ready.
• Skim off any scum, then stir in the butter, if using, to dissolve any remaining scum. Leave for 15 mins, then ladle into sterilised jars (see below). Will keep for up to 6 months in a cool, dark place.

Steps:

• Sanitize the jars and lids. Leave the jars in the hot water until ready to fill.
• Use a potato masher to mash the peaches, keeping some chunky and not finely pureed.
• Combine the fruits, apple juice and lime juice in a 6 quart saucepan. Gradually stir in the pectin while stirring with the spatula. Bring to a rolling boil, that cannot be stirred down, over high heat, stirring constantly.
• Add the sugar and stir thoroughly. Return the mixture to a rolling boil and boil hard for 2-3 minutes.
• When you lift your spatula you will see that the juices are starting to set, but still able to drip. If it thickens too quicklly, add a touch more apple juice.
• Remove from heat, pour the jam into a pourable 2 quart measuring cup. Stir slowly and gently for 5 minutes to help ensure the fruit is distributed evenly. Use your skimmer to skim any foam off the top. Lift the spatula from the jam again to see if it is setting, it should be setting somewhat, but still pourable.
• Remove the sterilized jars onto a clean kitchen towel.
• Fill the hot jars with the hot jam. Leave 1/4-inch of headspace at the top of the jar. Wipe the rim of the jar with a clean towel.
• Place the hot lids onto the jars. Apply the band and tighten. Place the jars back in the hot water using the jar lifter. . Make sure the jars are completely covered with the water. Cover the pot and bring the water to a boil for 10 minutes (adjusting for altitude).
• Remove the jars and allow to cool on a towel.

Steps:

• Thaw berries according to package directions.
• Peel,pit and crush peaches.
• Measure thawed berries and add enough crushed peaches to make 4 cups fruit.
• Place in kettle, add lemon juice and sugar, mixing throughly.
• Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat and let boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
• Remove from heat, add pectin, stirring vigorously.
• Stir and skim alternately for about 5 minutes.
• Ladle quickly into hot sterilized jars.
• Seal 5 minutes in boiling water bath using 2 piece lids (If you are not using paraffin like I still do for myself--for gift giving I use the 2 piece lids).
