Rosy Peach And Banana Jam Recipes

PEACH-ROSEMARY JAM

Steps:

• Halve and pit peaches, then cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges. Transfer to a large bowl. Add lemon juice; toss. Add sugar and rosemary; toss. Cover; let stand, tossing every hour, for 4 hours (sugar should be completely dissolved).
• Put peach mixture into a large, wide pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until liquid is syrupy, 12 to 13 minutes. Crush lightly with a potato masher, leaving one-quarter of the wedges intact. Skim foam from surface. Discard rosemary sprigs.
• Seal and process: Fill hot, sterilized 4-ounce jars with hot jam, leaving 1/4 inch space in each jar's neck. Wipe rims with a clean, damp cloth; cover tightly with sterilized lids and screw rings. Transfer jars, using tongs or a jar clamp, to the rack of a large canning pot filled with hot water, keeping jars upright; cover with water by 2 inches. (Jars should be spaced 1 inch apart and should not touch sides of pot.) Cover; bring to a boil. Process jars in gently boiling water 5 minutes. Transfer to a rack; let cool 24 hours. If lids pop back when pressed, they are not sealed; refrigerate immediately, and use within 1 month.

BANANA PEACH BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease the bottom of a 5x9-inch loaf pan.
• Beat white sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add brown sugar and hot chocolate mix; stir well.
• Place bananas, peach, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract in a blender; blend until smooth. Stir into butter mixture until well incorporated.
• Mix flour, walnuts, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl; stir into banana-butter mixture until flour mixture is just moistened. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of bread comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool in pan for 5 minutes before transferring bread to a wire rack to cool completely.

ROSY-PEACH AND BANANA JAM

Steps:

• Combine the peaches, bananas, cherries, lemon juice, and fruit pectin in a large Dutch oven; stir well. Place over high heat and bring to a boil stirring frequently; quickly stir in sugar.
• Once it comes back to a boil, boil for 1 minute or until mixture reaches 220°F on a candy thermometer, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and skim off surface with a metal spoon.
• Quickly ladle into hot sterilized jars, leaving 1/8-inch head space. Cover at once with the lids and screw on bands tight.
• Process in boiling water bath for 5 minutes.

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.

BLUSHING PEACH BANANA JAM

• Add and stir in the sugar.
• Bring to a full rolling boil once again.
• Stir constantly and boil. Boil rapidly for one minute.
• Remove from heat.
• Skim off foam.
• Stir and skim for about 5 minutes allowing mixture to cool slightly and prevent floating fruit.
• Ladle into sterilized canning jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
• Make sure jar rims are clean and cover with two piece metal lids and rings.
• Hot water bath for 5 minutes.
