• 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.

• 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).

RASPBERRY PEACH JAM

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).

RASPBERRY PEACH JAM

Steps:

• In a 8-quart saucepan, cook the raspberries and peaches over low to medium heat until soft. Lightly mash the fruit with a potato masher.
• Meanwhile, prepare a boiling water canner. Heat the jars and lids in simmering water until ready to use. Do not boil. Set bands aside.
• In a large measuring cup, combine 2 cups sugar with the pectin. Add the lemon juice and sugar-pectin mixture to the fruit. Over high heat, bring the mixture to a full rolling boil that cannot be stirred down, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon. Boil for 1 minute. Add the remaining 5 cups of sugar immediately, and bring back to a hard boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
• Turn the heat on low to medium. Skim foam if necessary. Ladle hot jam into the hot jars, leaving ½ inch head-space. Wipe the rim of the jar with a damp paper towel. Center the lid on the jar. Apply the band until the fit is fingertip tight.
• Process jars in a boiling water canner for 10 minutes, adjusting for altitude. Remove the jars and allow to cool completely. Check the lids for seal after 24 hours. The lid should not flex up and down when the center is pressed. Store jars in a cool, dry place for up to 18 months.

RASPBERRY PEACH JALAPENO JAM

Steps:

• 1. Mash the raspberries in a bowl and measure out 1 1/3 cups. 12 oz seems to be just about the correct amount. Then add the chopped peaches and slightly mash together to bring the juices out. Throw in the finely diced Jalapenos (make sure you wear gloves when chopping and I did leave the seeds in as I like some heat). Add the pectin and stir until it is well mixed. Turn on the stove and bring it to a boil. Once it comes to a full boil, one you cannot stir down, add all the sugar at once. Then add the vanilla. Bring the mixture back to a boil. Boil hard for 1 minute. Pour into sterilized jars and process like you do for canning. Follow the instructions for processing on the pectin label.
• 2. Addition... I have also just used 1 Jalapeno to have the pepper flavor but not the heat for those who don't like hot spicey foods. :) It's still yummy!

RASPBERRY PEACH JAM

QUICK RASPBERRY JAM

Steps:

• In a large skillet, combine raspberries, sugar, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Cook over high, stirring, until sugar dissolves and mixture boils. Reduce to a rapid simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer 3/4 cup jam to an airtight container. Using a fine-mesh sieve, strain remaining jam into container, pressing on solids. Discard seeds. Stir jam to combine: Let cool completely. Cover and refrigerate, up to 1 month.
