Ingredients:

6 tbsps

Lemon Juice

5 cups

White Sugar

Directions:

1

Put peaches in a Dutch oven or soup pot; stir in lemon juice, vanilla bean, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and cardamom

2

Place habanero peppers in a blender; top peppers with peach mixture

3

Blend until mostly smooth; transfer mixture back to the Dutch oven

4

Stir pectin into peach-habanero pepper mixture; bring to a full rolling boil

5

Quickly stir white sugar and brown sugar into mixture; return to a boil, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes

6

Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes

7

Pack jam into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top

8

Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles

9

Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue

10

Top with lids, and screw on rings

11

Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water

12

Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder

13

Leave a 2-inch space between the jars

14

Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars

15

Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 15 minutes

16

Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool

17

Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all)

18

Store in a cool, dark area, and wait 1 to 2 weeks before opening for best results
