- Yield: 16 oz 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lb peaches {original recipe calls for 1 1/2 lb peaches & 1/2 lb strawberries}
- 1/2 cup raw honey
- 1 tsp lemon juice {I used the juice of half a lemon}
- 1/2 vanilla bean
Instructions
- Peel the peaches by placing them in a pot of boiling water for 30 seconds to a minute to loosen the skins. Remove from the water and the skins should easily come off. Cut the peaches into several pieces and remove the pit. Place the peaches in a large pot.
- Add the lemon juice and raw honey to the pot.
- Using a small paring knife, slice the vanilla bean down the center and scape the seeds into the pot.
- Cook the mixture over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until it starts to boil.
- Turn the heat down to medium and let cook for approximately 45 minutes to an hour, stirring occasionally. Be careful not to let the bottom of the mixture burn.
- The mixture should cook down to a thick, gooey mass and when it looks like jam it is ready.
- When done, you can put it in a jar and enjoy right away, freeze it for later, or can it.
