Two Ingredient Apricot & Peach Jam

This two ingredient apricot and peach jam takes advantage of stone fruit season! Which happens to be my favourite season of them all. Making jam is the perfect way to preserve seasonal fruit. And you will be surprised with just how easy it is to make at home! While I have seen many recipes call for lemon juice, water or pectin, this recipe only calls for two ingredients. Those being sugar and the fruit of your choice. It’s made by soaking the fruit in sugar and allowing their natural juices to be released. After this, all you have to do is pop it on the stove and give it an occasional stir. It really is that easy!

How to make the perfect jam

Jam making is truly an easy art! However, there are a few simple guidelines you should follow for the best result.

Under-ripe fruit – I’m sure you have heard the age old tale to use overripe fruit for jam however, I’m here to tell you that the opposite is true! Under-ripe fruit has high levels of natural pectin and acid which are essential for good jam.

Soak your fruit – by soaking the fruit in sugar and leaving it to sit for 10 minutes you are allowing their natural juices to release.

Time – time is of the essence when making jam without pectin. Bring you jam to a slow simmer and leave on the stove for up to 40 minutes or until at your desired consistency.

Storage – jam is the perfect way to preserve seasonal fruit all year long! Store your jam in sterilised jars in the fridge for up to 6 months.

How to serve your jam

There are so many different ways that you can use your jam! From the classic bread, butter and jam to a more sophisticated sweet and savoury sandwich. The sandwich pictured above makes perfect use of this apricot and peach jam. It has a light smear of jam, followed by salty prosciutto, creamy brie cheese, fresh rocket and lastly some pears for crunch. You can view more of my sandwiches here.
