1.6kg ripe yellow flesh peaches
1 kg Chelsea Jam Setting Sugar
A knob of butter (10g)
4 x 250ml jam jars with lids
1. Score each peach with the point of a knife. Place in a bowl then cover with boiling water and leave until the skins start to pull away from the fruit. Peel the fruit, remove the stones and chop flesh into very fine pieces. Weight of the fruit should be 1kg.
2. Place the fruit and sugar into a large heavy based 6 litre pan saucepan. Place over low heat stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves.
3. Add the butter. Bring to a rapid boil. Boil for 4 minutes, carefully skimming off any foam that forms on the surface during cooking.
4. Remove the pan from the heat then test for set: Test a small amount of jam on a cold saucer (the surface should wrinkle when a spoon is pushed through it). If surface doesn’t wrinkle, return to boil for 2 minutes and repeat test for set.
5. Ladle hot jam into warm sterilised jars and seal with a lid. 6. Set aside to cool, then label, date and store in a cool dark place. Refrigerate after opening.
Makes 4 x 250ml jars.
I have made this a few times. I don’t bother with the boiling water method & just peel the peaches with a very sharp peeler instead because the skins don’t come off Golden Queens no matter what you do. Then I blitz the flesh in the food processor. Super simple & delicious.
I just peeled and stoned the fruit and then mashed it in the pan while cooking. Much quicker. Good colour and easy set.
an hour into peeling the peaches gave up and threw them to the chickens. jam is not cheap to make if u have to spend an hour and still the ripe peaches are not peeled and 4 jugs of boiling water
The prep is time consuming. Because of the short boiling time with the jam-setting sugar I will mash the peach a little next time.
Gorgeous colour & taste. Lovely for gifts.
Just made this and the colour looks delicious and the taste is divine. It was easy to put together and I'll be making it again.
Took alot longer than 15mins to prep the fruit. End colour is nice and bright.
