RASPBERRY PEACH JAM

Steps:

• Immerse ten 12-ounce jars in simmering water until jam is ready. Wash lids and rings in warm soapy water.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add peaches, 3 or 4 at a time; cook for 30 seconds. Immerse in ice water for several minutes to stop the cooking process. Drain. Peel off skins, core and dice peaches into small pieces.
• Combine diced peaches, sugar, raspberries, and lemon juice in a large pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high; cook at a rapid boil for 10 minutes. Stir in liquid and powdered pectin; bring back to a boil. Remove from heat and skim foam off the jam with a slotted spoon.
• Pack jam into hot jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool, 12 to 24 hours. Press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all).

Bring to a full rolling boil; boil for 15 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; skim off foam. , Carefully ladle hot mixture into hot half-pint jars, leaving 1/4-in. headspace. Remove air bubbles, wipe rims and adjust lids. Process for 15 minutes in a boiling-water canner.

PEACH AND RASPBERRY JAM

Steps:

• Thaw berries according to package directions.
• Peel,pit and crush peaches.
• Measure thawed berries and add enough crushed peaches to make 4 cups fruit.
• Place in kettle, add lemon juice and sugar, mixing throughly.
• Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat and let boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
• Remove from heat, add pectin, stirring vigorously.
• Stir and skim alternately for about 5 minutes.
• Ladle quickly into hot sterilized jars.
• Seal 5 minutes in boiling water bath using 2 piece lids (If you are not using paraffin like I still do for myself--for gift giving I use the 2 piece lids).

PEACH RASPBERRY JAM

Steps:

• Sanitize the jars and lids. Leave the jars in the hot water until ready to fill.
• Use a potato masher to mash the peaches, keeping some chunky and not finely pureed.
• Combine the fruits, apple juice and lime juice in a 6 quart saucepan. Gradually stir in the pectin while stirring with the spatula. Bring to a rolling boil, that cannot be stirred down, over high heat, stirring constantly.
• Add the sugar and stir thoroughly. Return the mixture to a rolling boil and boil hard for 2-3 minutes.
• When you lift your spatula you will see that the juices are starting to set, but still able to drip. If it thickens too quicklly, add a touch more apple juice.
• Remove from heat, pour the jam into a pourable 2 quart measuring cup. Stir slowly and gently for 5 minutes to help ensure the fruit is distributed evenly. Use your skimmer to skim any foam off the top. Lift the spatula from the jam again to see if it is setting, it should be setting somewhat, but still pourable.
• Remove the sterilized jars onto a clean kitchen towel.
• Fill the hot jars with the hot jam. Leave 1/4-inch of headspace at the top of the jar. Wipe the rim of the jar with a clean towel.
• Place the hot lids onto the jars. Apply the band and tighten. Place the jars back in the hot water using the jar lifter. . Make sure the jars are completely covered with the water. Cover the pot and bring the water to a boil for 10 minutes (adjusting for altitude).
• Remove the jars and allow to cool on a towel.

WHIPPED RICOTTA TOAST WITH QUICK PEACH-RASPBERRY JAM

Steps:

• For the jam: Combine the peaches, sugar and lemon juice in a nonreactive medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat and simmer, mashing the peaches occasionally with a potato masher, until the mixture thickens and sticks to a spoon, about 20 minutes.
• Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the raspberries. Let cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally. Transfer the jam to a nonreactive container with a lid and refrigerate until ready to use. The jam will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
• For the toast: Combine the ricotta, cream, sugar and lemon zest in a bowl and whisk until light and creamy.
• Slice the toasts on the diagonal and add a dollop of the whipped ricotta to each piece; use the back of a spoon to smear the ricotta across the toast, making a little trough and leaving a big mound on one end. Spoon some of the jam into the trough and drizzle with honey. Serve immediately.

RASPBERRY JAM

Steps:

• Toss the raspberries, sugar and lemon zest and juice in a medium saucepan to combine, then mash slightly to release some of the berry juice. Set aside for 10 minutes to allow the raspberries to macerate and the sugar to dissolve. Meanwhile, place a small plate in the freezer to chill; this will be used to test the doneness of the jam.
• Place the saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to medium, stirring frequently. Continue to cook until the jam becomes thick and syrupy, about 25 minutes. To test doneness, place a small amount of the jam onto the chilled plate and freeze for 2 minutes. Drag your finger or spoon through it. If the jam holds its shape and thickness, the jam is done; remove from the heat. If it's runny, continue to cook and test again in 5-minute increments. Once the jam has reached the right consistency, transfer to jars and cool completely before storing, covered tightly. Jam will keep in the refrigerator up to 6 months.

PEACH RASPBERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix the peaches, raspberries, 1/4 cup sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Allow to sit while proceeding with remaining steps.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Melt the butter in a 9x13 inch glass baking dish in the preheating oven, and evenly coat dish. Remove from heat.
• In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 cup sugar. Mix in milk just until dry ingredients are evenly moist. Pour evenly into the buttered baking dish. Scoop peach and raspberry mixture over the batter.
• Bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown.

PEACH MELBA JAM

Steps:

• The night before you make your jam, layer the berries, peaches and sugar in a very large bowl. Cover and set aside at room temperature.
• The next morning, give everything a good stir and set aside again until you're ready to start cooking. Put a small saucer in the freezer.
• Tip the raspberries and peaches, scraping out all the juices and any undissolved sugar, into a preserving pan (or use a large, wide-based pan - the wider and more open the pan, the faster the jam will be ready without the fruit cooking to mush). Stir in the lemon juice and cook over a very low heat until any remaining sugar is dissolved.
• Bring the mixture to the boil, then simmer for 5 mins. Turn off the heat and spoon a little of the hot jam onto the chilled saucer. Once cooled, push the jam with your finger - if it wrinkles a little, it has reached setting point. If it's still too runny to wrinkle, return the pan to the heat and boil in 2-min stages, removing the pan from the heat each time you repeat the saucer test, until ready.
• Skim off any scum, then stir in the butter, if using, to dissolve any remaining scum. Leave for 15 mins, then ladle into sterilised jars (see below). Will keep for up to 6 months in a cool, dark place.

RASPBERRY PEACH JALAPENO JAM

Steps:

• 1. Mash the raspberries in a bowl and measure out 1 1/3 cups. 12 oz seems to be just about the correct amount. Then add the chopped peaches and slightly mash together to bring the juices out. Throw in the finely diced Jalapenos (make sure you wear gloves when chopping and I did leave the seeds in as I like some heat). Add the pectin and stir until it is well mixed. Turn on the stove and bring it to a boil. Once it comes to a full boil, one you cannot stir down, add all the sugar at once. Then add the vanilla. Bring the mixture back to a boil. Boil hard for 1 minute. Pour into sterilized jars and process like you do for canning. Follow the instructions for processing on the pectin label.
• 2. Addition... I have also just used 1 Jalapeno to have the pepper flavor but not the heat for those who don't like hot spicey foods. :) It's still yummy!
