Recipe of Peach jam
Vida Recetas Editorial
Looking for an easy and delicious recipe to make homemade jam? This peach jam is perfect for you. With just three basic ingredients and a simple process, you'll get a sweet and slightly tangy jam, ideal for spreading on bread, toast, or pairing with cheeses and yogurts. Originating from regions where this fruit abounds, peach jam is a classic that makes the most of ripe fruit.
The recipe we present is traditional, with a modern twist: we don't peel the peaches, which gives it a rustic texture and a more intense flavor. The sugar ratio is half the weight of the fruit, achieving a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity. The process includes an overnight rest that intensifies the flavors and a slow cooking that thickens the mixture to the desired consistency.
This jam is ideal for those looking for a homemade product without preservatives and with an authentic flavor. If you like to experiment, you can add a touch of vanilla or cinnamon during cooking. Go ahead and make it, and enjoy the taste of summer any time of the year!
