Homemade peach jalapeno jam!!! Yum!!!Sunday my husband decided that he wanted to go on a mini family trip out to the country. We live in a suburban town about 1 hour from the nearest farms. Whenever we go out that way we do the "pick your own" of whatever is in season. Luckily the peaches and nectarines were ready for picking. My husband, his uncle, and his father went a little over board with the picking. We ended up with 37 lbs. of peaches and nectarines combined. And as luck would have it Monday was the start of a terribly hot and humid heat wave that was sure to spoil our peachy treasures. I decided to just simply can some peaches in light syrup and make a peach jalapeno jam.
We love the peach jalapeno jam that is sold at our local farmers market but it is somewhat pricey at $8.00 a pint. I made 3 pints of jam for about $9.00. Not bad.
While I was searching for peach recipes I came across something called "peach honey" made from the peach peels, water, and sugar boiled down to the consistency of honey. It basically is a peach syrup that would be perfect over pancakes. With the peels left over from the canned peaches I made a pint of this peach honey.
