Peach Jam

Peach jam is a delightful fruit preserve made from ripe peaches, sugar, and pectin (or sometimes lemon juice for natural pectin). This sweet spread boasts a vibrant golden-orange hue and a smooth, slightly thick texture, perfect for adding a burst of summer flavor to various culinary creations. The taste is intensely peachy, offering a balance of sweetness and subtle tartness, with the fragrant aroma of fresh peaches permeating each spoonful. High-quality peach jam is made with perfectly ripened peaches to capture the essence of the fresh fruit.
