Description

This refreshing No Cook Peachy Orange Jam is a delightful preserve that captures the essence of summer in every spoonful. By combining the zesty aroma of fresh orange rind with the soft sweetness of chopped peaches, this recipe creates a complex flavor profile that is both bright and indulgent. The addition of maraschino cherries adds a playful pop of color and sweetness, making it visually stunning as well as delicious. Because it uses fruit pectin crystals, the jam sets perfectly without the need for boiling the fruit, preserving the fresh taste and vibrant colors of the ingredients. It is an excellent choice for spreading on toast, topping yogurt, or serving alongside cheeses. Simple to prepare with pantry staples, this jam is a wonderful gift idea or a quick treat for everyday enjoyment.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Grate the orange rind using a fine grater, avoiding the white pith.
  2. Section the orange, removing the membrane and slicing the fruit segments into small dice.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the diced orange sections and grated rind.
  4. Add the chopped peaches, chopped maraschino cherries, lemon juice, and sugar to the bowl.
  5. Mix the ingredients well until the sugar is evenly distributed.
  6. Let the fruit mixture stand for 10 minutes to allow juices to release.
  7. In a small saucepan, combine the water and Certo Fruit Pectin Crystals.
  8. Bring the water and pectin mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly, and boil for exactly 1 minute.
  9. Pour the hot pectin mixture into the fruit bowl.
  10. Stir vigorously for 3 minutes until most of the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is uniform.
  11. Immediately pour the jam into clean jars or plastic containers.
  12. Cover tightly with lids and let stand at room temperature until set.

Note

The jam may take up to 24 hours to fully set at room temperature. Once set, store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or freeze for longer storage. Ensure jars are sealed tightly to maintain freshness.

When grating the orange rind, be careful to remove only the colored outer layer. The white pith underneath is bitter and can affect the flavor of the jam. Using fresh, ripe peaches will yield the best sweetness and texture.

You can adjust the sweetness by reducing the amount of sugar slightly, though this may affect the setting process. For a different flavor profile, try substituting the maraschino cherries with chopped strawberries or raspberries.
