Peach Pepper Jam Recipe (1)

Once you try my peach pepper jam recipe, you will never ever buy any other gourmet sweet pepper jam again…I promise!

I’ve long had a love affair with sweet and spicy jam over cream cheese and crackers. I think this all started when I used to be a consultant for Tastefully Simple nearly 20 years ago. I was hooked but never really thought to make some myself.

Every summer we get bushels of peaches and I can peaches like there is no tomorrow. I almost always take too long to get to all the peaches before they are too soft. This hot peach pepper jam recipe was concocted from some of those softer peaches. I’ve made several batches and think I’ve finally reached perfection to share with you.

On a side note – this summer, when I get more rhubarb out of my garden, I’m going to make up my jalapeno rhubarb pie to share with you…to die for!

But back to this delicious jam…I’ve given countless jars to friends for Christmas and birthdays. It’s a winner friends!

  1. This looks delicious! mine seems to be pretty liquidy. Did I not let it boil long enough. I stuck to the recipe other than I did two jalapeños instead of 3.

    • Hi Bethany! This jam is a little on the runnier side, which is nice for pouring over goat cheese.

      If you jam is completely cooled and it is not gelled enough for your preferences, I recommend you cook it longer next time. You may also do a spoon test to test for gel before you can.
