Summer is peach season! In addition to whipping up crumbles and pies (or eating the ripe fruit out of hand), you should make some jam—and we have the peach jam recipe you need to turn this juicy fruit into a delicious spread.

If you think making jam is time consuming, think again. Our quick and easy recipe doesn't require pectin or call for canning (the labor-intensive process that makes jam and other preserves shelf-stable). It yields a small batch of jam (3 cups) that you keep in the refrigerator—and it's sure to go fast. Not only is it delicious on toast, waffles, and pancakes, but it's a perfect partner for yogurt and scones. Our peach jam also pairs well with pork chops and is part of the stuffing for this Peach-Stuffed Pork.

  1. Puree peaches in food processor:

    Working in batches, pulse peaches in a food processor until chunky.

  2. Combine puree with other ingredients and bring to a boil:

    Transfer to a small saucepan, and add sugar, lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently.

  3. Cook jam:

    Boil, continuing to stir, until bubbles slow, foam subsides, fruit rises to the top, and jam sticks to a spoon when lifted, about 12 minutes.

  4. Cool and refrigerate:

    Let cool. Refrigerate until completely cooled.
