Peach Cardamom Jam

"Thanks to the reduced amount of sugar, it tastes extremely peachy, but with a smooth little kick. It makes a nice thick jam, that goes great on challah or a croissant."

  1. I reduced my sugar even further, down to 2 cups. My pectin said I didn't have to put in any sugar at all, and I don't like really sweet jams. My only complaint is that it has too much cardamom for my tastes. Next time I will just put 1 tsp in. It's good, but it's potent stuff, and 2 tsp seemed to overwhealm all other flavors.
     
  2. I love cardamom, so this is right up my alley, and I love that it uses the low-sugar pectin. I subbed almond extract for the vanilla and it came out quite tasty. I got 3 pints.

  4. Delicious! I used closer to 5 1/2 cups of peaches and it worked out fine. Great color and the cardamom and vanilla are lucious.
