Print Recipe

A simple and quick homemade peach jam recipe made in one pan with fresh peaches, sugar, and lemon juice, perfect for breakfast or gifting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and chopped (about 6–7 medium peaches)
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peaches by washing and peeling about 6-7 medium peaches. Score a small ‘X’ at the bottom of each peach, blanch in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunge into ice water. Peel skins off and chop into 1/2 inch pieces.
  2. Combine chopped peaches, 2 cups sugar, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice in a large nonstick skillet or wide saucepan. Stir to coat the fruit in sugar.
  3. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it bubbles gently, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes until thickened and peaches break down. Mash fruit with a potato masher if a smoother jam is desired.
  4. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon if using, once jam has thickened and looks glossy.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool for about 15 minutes. Transfer to clean jars or containers and let cool completely before refrigerating. Jam will thicken further as it cools.

Notes

Use ripe freestone peaches for best flavor and easier peeling. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Test jam set by placing a spoonful on a cold plate and checking if it wrinkles when pushed. Store refrigerated up to 2 weeks or freeze up to 3 months. Adjust sugar to taste but note sugar helps preserve the jam.
