Print Recipe

A simple and delicious homemade peach jam infused with fresh rosemary and vanilla bean, perfect for toast, yogurt, or gifts. This easy 5-ingredient recipe highlights natural flavors without additives.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh ripe peaches, peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 fresh rosemary sprigs
  • 1 whole vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped (or 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peaches by blanching them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunge into ice water to slip off the skins. Chop into 1/2-inch pieces to yield about 4 cups.
  2. In a large heavy-bottomed pot, combine chopped peaches, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir and let sit for 15 minutes to macerate.
  3. Add fresh rosemary sprigs and scraped vanilla bean seeds along with the split pod to the pot.
  4. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. After 10-15 minutes, the mixture will thicken and bubble. Mash some peaches if a less chunky texture is desired. Continue cooking for 30-40 minutes total.
  5. Test the jam by placing a spoonful on a chilled plate; if it wrinkles and holds shape after a minute, it is ready. Remove rosemary sprigs and vanilla pod.
  6. Ladle hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe rims clean and seal with lids.
  7. Let jars cool to room temperature before refrigerating or processing in a water bath for longer storage.

Notes

Stir often and skim off foam for clearer jam. Use fresh rosemary for best flavor. If jam is too runny, cook longer but watch carefully to avoid burning. Blanch peaches for easy peeling. Store in refrigerator up to 3 weeks after opening or process jars in boiling water bath for longer shelf life.
