Ingredients
- 4 cups (chopped) Fresh peaches (ripe and pitted)
- 2 cups Ripe bananas (mashed)
- 2.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.5 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Wash the peaches thoroughly, then peel, pit, and chop them into small pieces.
Step 2
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the chopped peaches, mashed bananas, sugar, lemon juice, and water.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir well to dissolve the sugar completely.
Step 4
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Lower the heat to maintain a steady simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Step 5
As the fruit softens, use a potato masher or immersion blender to achieve your desired jam consistency. For a smoother jam, blend the mixture thoroughly.
Step 6
Continue simmering the jam for 35-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and passes the 'wrinkle test' (see note below).
Step 7
Once thickened, carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top. Seal with lids and rings.
Step 8
If desired, process the jars in a water bath canner for 10 minutes to ensure longer shelf life. Otherwise, let the jam cool to room temperature and refrigerate.
Step 9
Store the jam in the fridge for up to 3 weeks or in a cool, dark pantry (if canned) for up to 1 year.
