Raspberry Peach Jam

One of my favorite homemade jams. A summery fresh taste and easy to make. Store jars in a cool, dark area.

Step: 1

Immerse ten 12-ounce jars in simmering water until jam is ready. Wash lids and rings in warm soapy water.

Step: 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add peaches, 3 or 4 at a time; cook for 30 seconds. Immerse in ice water for several minutes to stop the cooking process. Drain. Peel off skins, core and dice peaches into small pieces.

Step: 3

Combine diced peaches, sugar, raspberries, and lemon juice in a large pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high; cook at a rapid boil for 10 minutes. Stir in liquid and powdered pectin; bring back to a boil. Remove from heat and skim foam off the jam with a slotted spoon.

Step: 4

Pack jam into hot jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.

Step: 5

Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.

Step: 6

Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool, 12 to 24 hours. Press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all).

Eat good breakfast to continue the day has become a good habit. It’s a fabolous way to start my 24 hours off healthfully. The sugar hit from the fruit wakes me up and gives me power to take on the morning. Sugar is often vilified as the root of all disease, but sweetness is also loaded with fibre, which is great for your digestive system and helps keep you feeling full all day , and not want likely grab a side food out of the street food before lunchtime.

Make fruit a morning habit is easy . Simply put the sweetness in your refrigerator next to the sweet drink or on the bench next to your grain bowl , or beside your coffee maker or tea kettle — somewhere where you’ll see it. Before you eating the rest of your food , eat your fruit. If you’re not usually a breakfast person.

Giving your stomach energy a bit of sugar in the morning is good to move your healthy body for the day and fuel to your brain, which, incidentally, requires a continue supply of sugar in the form of process glucose, counting at to around 120g daily. There is also substantial evidence to support the idea that a diet high in fibre can reduce your risk of a number of cancers. And of course, you benefit from all the other supplement and antioxidants in fruit, which keep you powerfull and healthy.
