A delightful treat that combines the sweet, juicy flavors of ripe peaches and tart blackberries, perfect for spreading on toast or pancakes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced
- 2 cups fresh blackberries
- 4 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 packet fruit pectin
Instructions
- Prepare the fruit by peeling and dicing the peaches and washing the blackberries.
- Mix the sugar, lemon juice, and fruit pectin with the fruit in a large bowl.
- Transfer the mixture to a slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Check the consistency by placing a spoonful on a plate; if it holds its shape, it’s ready.
- Pour the jam into sterilized jars, seal tightly, and let cool before storing.

- Use honey or maple syrup instead of granulated sugar for a natural sweetener.
- For a lower sugar option, try using a sugar substitute that measures like sugar.
- Swap out blackberries for raspberries or blueberries for a different flavor profile.
