Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 c fresh peaches, peeled and pitted; finely chopped
6 Tbsp ball realfruit instant pectin
2 c granulated sugar or splenda no calorie sweetener, granulated
3 Tbsp bottled lemon juice, use only with peaches
6 - 8 large fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
2 - 4 small habanero pepper, fresh, finely chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Peel and pit your peaches. Peel them by placing in boiling water for 20 - 30 seconds and peel should come off easily. Then, remove pit and slice up peaches. I chopped mine in the food processor. Add your basil leaves and habaneros to your chopped peaches. I did all of them in the food processor.
  • 2. Stir peaches, sugar and lemon juice in a bowl. Let stand 10 minutes. Add pectin gradually, stirrring to prevent clumping. Stir 3 minutes.
  • 3. Ladle jam into clean freezer jars and let stand 30 minutes. Enjoy.
  • 4. I might add that after having the jam on toast and with some tortilla chips who needs a doctor? It must kill any intestinal yuckies you might have. LOL...Wheewww Weeee.....HOT, HOT, Hot...Did I mention HOT??? LOL Not only do you get some heat in your mouth but your whole body too. This would be good to eat on a cold night to warm you up. LOL.... The body heat will last at least an hour if not longer. You kinda feel like you might have "fire breath" or at least some smoke should be coming out from somewhere. ROFL
