Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized ripe peaches
• 2 medium-sized jalapenos
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Wash the peaches and jalapenos thoroughly under running water. Peel and pit the peaches, then dice them into small pieces.

Step 2

Slice the jalapenos lengthwise, remove the seeds for a milder heat (optional), and finely chop them.

Step 3

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the diced peaches, chopped jalapenos, granulated sugar, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, salt, and water.

Step 4

Place the saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Stir the mixture gently to combine all the ingredients.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a simmer, reducing the heat to medium-low. Continue to cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches break down and the mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Step 7

Using an immersion blender or transferring the mixture to a countertop blender, carefully blend the spread until smooth or leave it slightly chunky for texture, depending on your preference.

Step 8

Let the Jalapeno Peach Spread cool completely before transferring it to a clean jar or airtight container for storage.

Step 9

Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve as a spread on crackers, bread, or paired with cheese, or use as a glaze for meats like chicken or pork.
