Peach Jam

Peach jam is a sweet fruit spread made from peaches, sugar, and often a splash of lemon juice. It is characterised by a vivid golden-orange colour and an intense fruity aroma. It is especially suited to breakfast breads, toast, and pancakes, but is also used as a filling in cakes and pastries, or as an ingredient in sweet sauces and glazes. Homemade versions retain a more natural flavour compared to commercially produced ones. The ratio of fruit to sugar is key during preparation, as it affects both the consistency and the shelf life of the final product.
