π Canning Peach Jam (No Pectin, Low Sugar!)
|
This easy homemade peach jam uses just three simple ingredients and no pectin. It is perfect for canning, and you can adjust the sugar to taste! Or you can skip the canning altogether and enjoy it fresh from the fridge!
Note: Peach jam and peach butter are basically the same thing, but peach jam tends to have more sugar. However, this recipe is going to go pretty light on the sugar for a more mellow, true peach flavor. Growing peaches on our homestead has been such a blessing, for a lot of reasons. Every year, when we harvest the peach trees we are left with hundreds of pounds of peaches to enjoy. Typically, we can peach halves in syrup, eat them fresh as whole fruit, freeze the peaches for later, or turn them into peach popsicles, and so on⦠But being able to make homemade peach cobbler and peach jam has been top of that list!

Green grape pie is a vintage dessert recipe with a similar flavor profile to apple pie, with a crisp texture that remains even after baking! Made with einkorn flour and maple syrup, this grape pie recipe is a classic! When my son was about 5 years old, he asked for a green grape pie. I had never heard of such a thing, but I decided on a simple recipe and got to work. I told my dad about the strange request as the pie was baking, and he started laughing. Apparently, it had been his...
