Peach And Plum Jam Food

PEACH AND PLUM GALETTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a pizza stone or baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Toss together the confectioners' sugar, cornstarch, almond extract, peaches and plums in a bowl.
• Unroll the pie crust on the prepared pizza stone or baking sheet and spread the jam in the center. Top with the fruit mixture, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border. Fold the edge of the dough over the filling. Beat the egg in a small bowl with 1 teaspoon water. Brush the dough with the egg wash and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar.
• Bake until the crust is golden brown and shiny, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes before serving. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream and dust with confectioners' sugar.

PEACH-AND-PLUM JAM

Steps:

• Pit peaches and plums and coarsely chop into pieces slightly smaller than 1/2 inch. Combine fruit, sugar, water, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and salt in a heavy-bottomed pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil (do not stir) until mixture begins to thicken, about 18 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, until mixture is thickened and jamlike, about 30 minutes. Add more lemon juice to taste, then let cool completely.

PEACH-PLUM GINGER JAM

Steps:

• In a large, non-reactive pot, combine all ingredients. Bring to a simmer and allow to cook for approximately 20 minutes (please remember that jam cooking times vary widely depending on width of your pot, kitchen humidity and sugar levels in the fruit) until the jam is thick and passes the plate test. Using a thermometer and taking the cooking jam to as close to 220 degrees is also another good technique.
• When jam is sufficiently cooked, fill prepared jars. Wipe rims, apply lids and screw on rings. Process in a boiling water canner for 10 minutes.
• When processing time is up, remove jars from canner and let them cool on a towel-lined countertop. When jars are cool enough to handle, remove rings and test seals by grasping the outside edge of lid and lifting the jar carefully off the countertop. The lid should stay firmly in place on the jar.
• Store jars in a cool, dark place for up to one year.

PEACH PLUM JAM

Steps:

• 1. Prepare waterbath canner by placing clean jars on rack and fill pot and jars with hot water till it just barely covers the jars, then bring to a boil. Once the water begins to boil turn temperature down to simmer and drop in rings and lids.
• 2. Chop peaches and plums.
• 3. In an 8 large pot combine chopped peaches, plums and juice or water. Gradually stir in pectin. Bring mixture to a full rolling boil that can not be stirred down, over high heat, stirring constantly.
• 4. Add sugar. Boil hard for 1 minute stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim foam if necessary.
• 5. Remove jars from canner and empty out water. Place jars on a folded towel.
• 6. Ladle hot jam into hot jars, one at a time leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe rims. Center lids on jars. Apply bands and adjust to fingertip tight.
• 7. Place filled jars in canner making sure jars are covered by at least 1 to 2 inches of water. Place lid on canner. Bring to water to gentle, steady boil. Process for 10 minutes. Turn off heat and let set for an additional 5 minutes.
• 8. Remove jars and place on a folded towel and let cool undisturbed for 24 hours. Check to see if lids are popped down before storing. If they aren't store in fridge.

PEACHES AND PLUMS

Steps:

• Lightly grease a shallow 2 quart baking dish.
• Mix plums and nectarines, spread in dish.

PEACH-PLUM JAM

Steps:

• Stir together fruit, sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large heavy-bottomed pot. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved and mashing fruit with a potato masher. Add lemon juice; continue to boil, stirring frequently, until bubbles slow, chunks of fruit show at top, and mixture clings to a spoon but falls off in clumps, 10 to 12 minutes. Skim foam from top.
• Ladle jam into clean containers, leaving 3/4 inch of headroom. Let cool completely. Cover, label, and refrigerate up to 1 month, or freeze up to 1 year.

PLUM PEACH JAM NO-PECTIN

Steps:

• Place two small ceramic plates in the freezer so we can use these to test the jam later. Alternatively, you can use a candy thermometer to check the doneness of the jam.
• Score an X on the peaches and plums with a knife. Then, blanch them in hot water for 3 minutes to remove the skin. Let cool slightly then peel and core them. Chop the fruit roughly so you don't have large pieces.Pro tip - Covering the fruit in a bowl with plastic wrap for 7 to 10 minutes will help the skin peel off easily.
• In a heavy bottom pan, combine the fruits, sugar, salt, and lemon juice.Pro tip - If you plan to use the fruit with the skin on, let the fruits macerate in sugar and lemon juice for a few hours before cooking. This softens the blueberry skin considerably.
• Cook on medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. Then, turn the heat up and let the mixture come to a boil. Let it boil for two minutes on medium-high. Pro tip - Boiling the jam is important as it releases pectin from the skin and seed in fruits.
• Then, turn the heat to medium-low. The jam should still be simmering but at a low simmer, not bubbling. Use a vegetable masher to mash the fruit - so you have a smoother jam-like consistency.Pro tip - Mashing the fruit is optional, as the fruit will break down into smaller chunks similar to preserve as it cooks. However, mashing will give smoother consistency like jam.
• Continue to simmer for about 20 to 30 minutes more stirring often so it does not stick to the bottom of the pan. The jam will continue to thicken as well as deepen in color as it cools.Pro tip - The cooking time will depend on the quantity of the jam as well as the heat applied to it. It's ok to cook a little longer but there must be a simmer for the fruit to release pectin.
