Can you imagine a jam made with your two most favorite fruits in the whole wide world! Here it is . . . well, that is if you love blueberries and peaches!!
OK, these happen to be two of my most favorite fruits, so when I found this recipe I KNEW I HAD to give it a try!! I thought it just couldn't get any better than this!!
The best thing about this is that the blueberries came from my own yard - how cool is that!! OK, I am getting overly excited!
Here is the recipe:
Blueberry Peach Jam
3 cups fresh blueberries (I imagine you could used frozen, but thawed blueberries)
2 cups fresh peaches
1 pkg powdered fruit pectin like Sure-Jel
1/4 tsp cinnamon
7 cups sugar
Crush the blueberries and put them in a medium size saucepan.
Peel and remove the stone from the peaches. Cut the peaches into slices and chop them into small pieces.
Add them to the blueberries. With a potato masher or something similar, mash the peaches and blueberries.
Mix the fruit pectin and cinnamon into the blueberry/peach mixture and cook over medium heat until it comes to a boil while stirring constantly.
Add the sugar all at once, mix to blend into the fruit mixture. Bring to a full boil and boil hard for one minute - stir constantly.
Remove the pot from the heat. Skim any foam.
Ladle the jam into hot jar and seal.
Place in a hot water bath for 10 minutes.
Makes 7 to 8 half-pint jars.
How does this taste??? Wonderfully delicious!! OK, I will try to be more precise. Definitely blueberry but with a slight peachy "kick."
As you can see, it looks more like Blueberry Jam than Peach Jam. This is definitely a keeper recipe!
ENJOY!
