Ingredients
- 4 cups (peeled, pitted, and finely chopped) ripe peaches
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 cups sparkling wine (Prosecco or Champagne)
- 1 packet (3 oz) liquid pectin
Directions
Step 1
Prepare your peaches: Bring a pot of water to a boil and prepare an ice water bath. Score a small 'X' on the bottom of each peach. Blanch peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer to the ice water bath. Peel off the skins, pit the peaches, and finely chop them to yield 4 cups.
Step 2
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the chopped peaches, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Stir well and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the sugar to dissolve slightly.
Step 3
Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Once boiling, reduce the heat slightly and continue to cook for 10-12 minutes, mashing the fruit gently with a potato masher or the back of a spoon for a smoother texture.
Step 4
Add the sparkling wine to the pot and stir to combine. Return the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, add the liquid pectin, stirring constantly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to activate the pectin.
Step 5
Perform a gel test to ensure the jam has reached the desired consistency. Place a small spoonful of jam on a chilled plate and let it sit for 1-2 minutes. If the jam wrinkles slightly when pushed, it's ready. If not, continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes and repeat the test.
Step 6
Remove the pot from heat and skim off any foam that has risen to the surface.
Step 7
Ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace. Wipe the jar rims clean, place the lids on, and screw on the bands to fingertip tightness.
Step 8
Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to seal them. Adjust the time if you're at a higher altitude. Carefully remove the jars and let them cool completely on a towel-lined surface.
Step 9
Check the seals once the jars have cooled. Any unsealed jars should be refrigerated and used within 3 weeks. Sealed jars can be stored in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year.
