Betsy’s “Oh, YES!” Amaretto Chocolate Decadence Peach Jam

By Betsy Vail       08/27/2013

Please note:  This jam is intended for storage in the freezer, not sterilized jars.

Ingredients: 
  • 9 c coarsely ground whole peach mash (without pits)
  • 2 c organic coconut sugar (This is dependent on the sweetness of the peaches. Adjust to taste.)
  • ¼ c unsalted sweet cream butter
  • ¼ c Amaretto liqueur (This is dependent on the sweetness of the peaches. Adjust to taste.)
  • 4.7 oz. low-sugar pectin
  • 1 oz. Lindt milk chocolate (optional)
  • 1 Tbs vanilla
  • 1 tsp iodized salt
Directions: 
  1. Dice whole peaches, removing the pits, and blend in a food processor until the desired consistency is reached (I prefer my jam mash have some chunks). 
  2. Cook in a large sauce pot on medium-low heat stirring frequently. 
  3. Add remaining ingredients. 
  4. Heat and stir until all ingredients are blended in, approximately 15 -20 minutes (until the mash is heated and bubbling slightly).
  5. Allow the mash to cool, then ladle into pint-sized, twist cap, plastic storage containers. Be sure to only fill the containers to 75% of capacity. 
  6. Place the mash in the freezer for storage. Individual containers of jam can be thawed and refrigerated when ready to eat. YUM!!!
