my new fav- Peach Raspberry jam

[NancyJo]

Well my hubby was in SC this week and brought home a bushel of peaches. Well I canned some, made a few pies, made some peach BBQ sauce. Well I has some left over and thought JAM. I had about 4 cups of raspberries left in the freezer from my patch and was going to just make a mixed batch of jam with them. Well I found a recipe on the web for peach raspberry jam and it is my new favorite!!

This is the recipe I used from the Taste of Home page

Ingredients

2-2/3 cups finely chopped peeled peaches
1-1/2 cups crushed raspberries
3 cups sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice

Directions

In a Dutch oven, combine all ingredients. Cook over low heat,
stirring occasionally, until sugar has dissolved and mixture is
bubbly, about 10 minutes. 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. Yield: 5 half-pints.

Mm, this I am sure will be my favourite as well Nancyjo, a great use of those peaches and raspberries to make the Jam.
I have some young raspberry bushes at the moment, no fruit as yet, but if I am blessed with enough to make the Jam I will be doing that for sure. I can easily scoot to the fruit shop for enough peaches.

Thank you for sharing your recipe.

Sounds delicious. Unfortunately getting good fresh peaches here is a problem. The ones sent to the markets are not quite ripe so they are usually not that great. Unless someone lives in the higher elevations, peaches, apricots and pears don't grow that well. Even the low chill pears and apples are tart.

What tropical fruit and berry would you use as substitute?
