| Peach & Lemon Jam |
Added: 29th Feb, 2008 | Viewed 740 times |  |  |

| This was the first jam I ever made and also the first 'Weekend Project' for the site. It was a great experience and the jam which was a result of several modified recipes, turned out quite nice; almost like a chutney with a spicy undertone. It wasn't very difficult reaching the dreaded 'gel point' either. |

|
|
3 cups sugar

1/ tsp nutmeg |

| Method | | Peel and pit the peaches. Chop into small pices. Combine with sugar, lemon juice and spices in a deep saucepan. Cover and stand for an hour. On low heat, cook the peach mixture, stirring constantly for approximately 25-30 minutes till it reaches gel point. Remove from heat. Blend to desired consistency using a stick blender.

| | Gel's Notes |
| You can adjust the amount of sugar depending on your taste, but the less the sugar is used, the more it enhances the flavour of the peach. | | For this particular recipe, it takes approximately 30 minutes to reach the gel point. [cooking on low heat] | |
