Low Sugar Peach & Strawberry Jam
Peaches and strawberries combine to make a delicious taste of summer in a lower sugar jam.
Ingredients
- 125 g fresh peaches
- 125 g fresh strawberries
- 90 g sugar
- 50 ml water
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Put a saucer or small plate in the fridge.
- Remove the skin from the peaches by covering with boiling water, then drain off the water and the skins will slip off easily.
- Remove the peach stone (pit) and chop the peaches into small pieces.
- Remove the green hulls from the strawberries and cut them into quarters.
- Put the fruit in a large saucepan with the water and lemon juice.
- Cook for 5 minutes until the fruit softens slightly.
- Reduce the heat and add the sugar. Stir until the sugar has fully dissolved.
- Bring the jam to a rolling boil and boil for 10 minutes.
- Take off the heat and put a teaspoon of the jam onto the cold plate. Return to the fridge for 5 minutes.
- Test that the jam is ready to set by pushing your finger across the jam on the saucer or plate. The jam should separate and leave a clear space where your finger has been. It won't wrinkle like higher sugar jam but will definitely leave a clear trail.
- If the jam is not set, then bring back to a boil for 5 minutes then repeat the test for set on another cold saucer.
- Pot the jam into a sterilised jam jar and seal with a lid.
