Peachmarmalade Recipes

PEACH MARMALADE

Steps:

• If you don't have a jam/sugar thermometer, place a small dinner plate into the freezer before starting your marmalade, to use for the Cold Plate Test for done-ness (see Note 2 below).
• Peel, pit and slice the peaches. (I like to use a nice, sharp vegetable peeler to peel peaches). Remove the ends from orange and slice across the equator as thinly as you can. Chop the peel and flesh into smaller pieces. (You can chop as finely or as coarsely as you prefer).
• Cut maraschino cherries in half or quarters and place on a paper towel to absorb the juices. Set aside.
• Place the prepared peach slices and chopped orange into a large bowl. Add the lemon juice. Weigh the fruit mixture. Add an equal weight of granulated sugar to the bowl. (So, in my case, my fruit weighed 774g/27oz) so I weighed out that same amount of sugar by weight and added it to the fruit mixture). Stir to combine.
• Place the fruit/sugar mixture in a large, heavy bottom pan (not aluminum) over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves. *I like to use a potato masher to break down the peaches a little bit at this point. Raise heat to medium-high and continue cooking until juices start to thicken and jam tests done on a chilled plate *, about 10-15 minutes. *If you like a chunkier marmalade, you don't need to do anything. For a less chunky marmalade, you can use an immersion blender at the end of cooking (before adding vanilla and cherries), to make a smoother marmalade. Be careful with the immersion blender as the liquid is very hot!
• Remove the pan from heat. Stir in vanilla and cherries. Spoon into clean jar or jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Place lid and ring on just fingertip tight and invert jar on tea towel. Allow to stand (inverted) until cooled to room temperature, then immediately refrigerate. (Inverting hot jam will give you a "soft seal" of the canning lid, but is not considered a sufficient seal for room-temperature storage, so the marmalade MUST be stored in the refrigerator unless you take the extra step of properly sealing by the boiling water bath sealing method.
• *If you wish to can the jam, spoon into sterilized jars and process in a water bath. Always refer to a reputable source of canning information for how to sterilize and how long to process in a boiling water bath.

PEACH PRESERVES

Steps:

• Crush 1 cup chopped peaches in the bottom of a large saucepan. Add remaining peaches, and set pan over medium-low heat. Bring to a low boil, and cook for about 20 minutes or until peaches become liquid (my family likes a few bits of peach left) .
• Pour peaches into a bowl, and then measure 6 cups back into the pan. Add sugar, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Gradually stir in dry pectin, and boil for 1 minute.
• Remove from heat after 1 minute, and transfer to sterilized jars. Process in hot water bath canner for 10 minutes. Let cool, and place on shelf.

EASY HOMEMADE PEACH JAM RECIPE (NO PECTIN)

Steps:

• Add peaches and lemon juice to medium saucepan. Bring to boil over med-high heat, using a spatula or masher to crush peaches to desired consistency.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add sugar. Bring peaches back to a boil, stirring frequently.
• Continue to boil and stir, until peaches reduce and reach desired consistency. (Anywhere from 15 to 25 minutes - jam should stick to spoon when lifted and turned sideways.)
• Let the peach preserves cool, if you find the jam is not at the consistency you desire, you can bring the peaches back to boiling for about 10 minutes and then let it cool again.

PEACH MARMALADE

Steps:

• Plunge peaches in boiling water for about 1 minute to loosen skin. Peel. Halve the peaches and remove and discard stones. Dice the peaches into small pieces, about ½" in size. Add the chopped orange and lemon along with the orange and lemon zest. Measure the amount of the peach pulp, orange, and lemon. Add an equal amount of sugar. For example, if the total amount of the pulp equals 4 cups, add 4 cups of sugar.
• Place 2-3 freezer-safe saucers in freezer.
• Place pulp and sugar into a medium-sized stockpot. Stir. Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. Reduce heat and simmer until mixture thickens and peaches are translucent, stirring occasionally. This could take about an hour, a little more or less*. To test for doneness, place a small amount of marmalade on chilled saucer and swirl saucer around. Let marmalade sit, untouched, for about a minute, then gently push your finger through the marmalade. If the marmalade holds its shape (i.e., does not run back together after the finger has been removed from the marmalade), it is set and ready to bottle. If not, continue to cook mixture, repeating the "chill" test about every 3 minutes or so (always removing the pot from the heat while conducting the chill test) until the marmalade passes the "chill" test. Do not overcook as it will result in a very thick marmalade, dark in color.
• Remove pot from heat and skim off any foam that may still remain on the marmalade. Stir in cherries and Peach Schnapps (or almond flavoring). Using a canning funnel, pour marmalade into sterilized jars, leaving about ¼" headroom in each jar. Wipe the jar rims with a clean cloth. Seal jars with heated lids and fingertip-tightened ring bands. Process in boiling water canner, following canner manufacturer's directions, for 10 minutes. Remove jars from hot water to cooling rack. Listen for the "pop" or "ping" sound as the bottles seal over the next few hours. The lids of properly sealed jars will curve downward. Refrigerate any jars that do not have lids curved downward and use within 1 month.
• Yield: Apx. 5 half-pints
• *Note that it is difficult to give a precise cooking time for the marmalade since various factors, including the pectin level of the fruit and heat level of stove, can vary significantly and may affect cooking and marmalade-setting times. This is why the "chill" test is the recommended method for determining marmalade setting. It is recommended that the first "chill" test be conducted somewhere around the 45-50 minute point in the cooking process. It does not necessarily mean that the marmalade will be done in that timeframe and more than one "chill" test may need to be performed.

Measure exactly 4-1/2 cups of the fruit mixture into 6- or 8-qt. saucepot.
• Stir sugar into prepared fruit 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 pectin. 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 two-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 towel to cool completely. After jars cool, check seals by pressing middles of lids with finger. (If lids spring back, lids are not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.)

PEACH MARMALADE (NO PECTIN)

Steps:

• PREPARE JARS FOR STORAGE: Run 2-3 jars (depending on size) through the dishwasher or washed in very hot water. You will make about 3 cups of marmalade.
• PEEL AND SLICE PEACHES: For easy peeling, carefully drop peaches into a pot of boiling water. Boil for 60-90 seconds. Drain water and run cold water over peaches in pot. Slip skins off the peaches. Use small paring knife to peel stubborn spots if needed. Cut peaches in half and remove pits. Slice or chop into smaller pieces. Note 1.
• PREPARE ORANGES: Zest an orange and set aside. Peel orange(s) and cut inside flesh into small pieces. Remove large pieces of whitish fibrous layers. You should have about 1 cup.
• PREPARE MIXTURE TO COOK: Place peaches, zest, oranges, sugar and lemon juice in a large pot (mixture should only take up about 1/3 of pot). Squish the mixture with a potato masher or your hands. (I use my hands). It's ok to leave some chunks of peaches.
• COOKING PROCESS: Heat mixture to medium-high heat and bring to a full rolling boil. Lower heat to medium heat (6 on my dial) and boil on a medium rolling boil for 20-30 minutes (depending on how loose or thick you like your marmalade), stirring occasionally to prevent scorching on the bottom. The amount of time will depend on speed of boil and size of pot. (Note 2 - how to tell marmalade is done.) Taste and adjust flavors as needed e.g. add a bit more lemon juice or sugar as you like.
• STORE THE MARMALADE: Pour marmalade fruit mixture into jars. Cool to room temperature, place lids on jars tightly and store in the fridge.

PEACH MARMALADE

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, bring the vinegar, brown sugar and sugar to a boil. Add the red pepper, onion, banana pepper, raisins, ginger and salt. Place cloves and cinnamon stick on a double thickness of cheesecloth; bring up corners of cloth and tie with string to form a bag. Add to the pan. Return to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes., Add peaches and return to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes or until thickened. Discard spice bag. Carefully ladle hot chutney into hot half-pint jars, leaving 1/2-in. headspace. Remove air bubbles; wipe rims and adjust lids. Process for 15 minutes in a boiling-water canner.

PEACH ORANGE MARMALADE RECIPE

Steps:

• Soak store-bought oranges in hot water for about an hour and scrub well to remove any food grade wax that may be present. Skip the soaking step if using homegrown or organic oranges.
• Strip the peel from the oranges using a vegetable peeler trying to avoid as much bitter white pith as possible. Next, use a spoon tip to scrap any white pith that may still be on the back of the orange peel. Cut the orange peel into thin strips about 1/4 inch thick until you have 3/4 cup of orange peel strips.
• Using a sharp knife cut a small slice off each end of the orange. Use a very sharp knife to peel any orange pith and skin from each orange following the shape of the orange making sure to hold the orange over a bowl to catch any juice.
• Using the sharp knife cut in between the membrane of each slice of orange discarding the membrane pieces and reserving the orange segments. Repeat with each orange. Chop the orange segments to measure 1 1/2 cups of fruit and juice.
• Prepare the peaches by peeling, pitting and chopping.
• Place all of the ingredients into an uncovered 8-quart pot. On medium-high heat bring to a boil occasionally stirring until the sugar dissolves and to prevent burning. Once boiling lower the heat and continue to cook at a low boil for 45 to 50 minutes, occasionally stirring to prevent scorching or until it thickens slightly.
• Remove the pot from the heat, skim foam if needed. Fill hot jars with the marmalade leaving a 1/4 headspace. Remove air bubbles and wipe the jar rim. Place a flat lid on the jar, and screw on a band just to fingertip tight.
• Place the filled marmalade jar into the hot water bath canner and repeat filling all of the jars.
• Process the Peach Orange Marmalade for 10 minutes adjusting for altitude if needed. Turn the heat off, remove the canner lid and allow to cool 5 minutes. Remove jars from the canner and allow to cool on a dry towel overnight before labeling and storing is a dark cool cabinet.

PEACH MARMALADE

Steps:

• Cut the orange and lemon into quarters; remove all of the seeds.
• Slice the orange and lemon quarters crosswise into very thin slices.
• In a medium saucepan, combine fruit slices and water.
• Cover, and simmer the orange and lemon mixture for 20 minutes.
• Peel, pit, and finely chop the peaches.
• In a 8-10-quart heavy bottomed stockpot/kettle or a Dutch oven, combine orange and lemon mixture with the peeled and chopped peaches.
• Stir the pectin in the fruit mixture; bring the mixture to a FULL rolling boil, stirring constantly. add sugar.
• brign back to a hard boil , uncovered for 1 minute.
• Remove from heat; quickly skim off foam. stir for 7 minutes.
• Pour at once, into HOT sterilized jars, and seal.

PEACH JAM

Steps:

• In a 6- to 8-quart heavy pot combine sugar, peaches, and lemon juice. Bring to boiling over medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Quickly stir in pectin. Bring to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and quickly skim off foam with a metal spoon.
• Ladle hot jam into hot sterilized half-pint canning jars, leaving a 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe jar rims; adjust lids and screw bands.
• Process filled jars in a boiling-water canner for 5 minutes (start timing when water returns to boiling). Remove jars from canner; cool on wire racks, turning and tilting jars after 20 minutes to distribute fruit evenly throughout the jam. Repeat as necessary. Makes 7 half-pints.

PEACH FREEZER MARMALADE

Steps:

• I like to pulse the peaches in the food processer or finely chop them. Mashing them sometimes creates too much juice. Peel, pit, and cut peaches into quarters, then pulse just enough to chop them-not puree them-or finely chop them on a cutting board. Transfer chopped peaches to a large bowl.
• Remove seeds from the orange quarter and slice into thin strips or triangles. Add the orange and lemon juice to the peaches and stir in sugar. Let stand 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, combine pectin and water in a small saucepan, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil 1 minute. Gradually add cooked pectin to peach mixture, stirring well. Stir about 3 minutes or until sugar is almost dissolved.
• Spoon peach mixture into plastic or glass 1-cup freezer jars. Wipe rims and cover with lids. Let stand at room temperature overnight. Freeze until firm. Store in freezer. Thaw in refrigerator before serving.

PEAR MARMALADE

Steps:

• In a food processor, cover and process pears in batches until pureed. Measure out enough pears to make 2-1/2 cups. In a Dutch oven, combine the pineapple, orange juice, lemon juice, orange zest and pears. Stir in pectin. Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly., Stir in sugar; return to a full rolling boil. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; skim off foam. Ladle into jars or freezer containers and cool to room temperature, about 1 hour., Cover and let stand overnight or until set, but not longer than 24 hours. Refrigerate for up to 3 weeks or freeze for up to 12 months.

PEACH JAM

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil. Put peaches in the boiling water for just 1 minute or under. Take them out with a slotted spoon and place them in cold water. Peel and slice peaches. Discard peach pits. Put peaches into a large (wide-open) heavy bottom pot and add the sugar. Bring to a boil. Continue to boil mixture and stir frequently. Mixture will thicken in approximately 45 minutes to an hour. As mixture thicken, you must stir more frequently to ensure that it does not stick to the bottom of the pot. To test whether the jam is ready, place a cold metal spoon in the mixture and tilt. The jam should form a single stream.

NO-SUGAR PEACH PRESERVES

Steps:

• Fill a canner pot half-full with water and bring to a simmer. Wash jars and rings in warm soapy water; rinse with warm water. Place lids in a saucepan off the heat; pour boiling water on top. Let stand until ready to use.
• Measure 3 cups of peaches into a 6- or 8-inch saucepot. Stir in 3/4 cup water. Gradually add pectin, stirring until well blended. Bring mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Boil exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in sucralose. Skim foam off the surface of the jam using a metal spoon.
• Ladle jam immediately into the prepared jars, filling to within 1/8-inch from the tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with lids and rings; screw bands tightly. Place jars on an elevated rack in the canner. Lower the rack to cover the jars with 1 to 2 inches of water, adding more boiling water if necessary. Cover and bring water to a simmer.
• Process the jam for 10 minutes. Remove jars and place upright on a towel to cool completely, 2 to 3 hours. Check seals by pressing the middle of lid with your finger; if lid springs back, lid is not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.
