The changing season between late summer and early fall always gets me in the mood for more fall-ish flavors and for the old-fashioned tradition of putting up the harvest by making preserves. And this cinnamon maple peach jam recipe is one that I think fits perfectly into the change of seasons because of the fresh summer peach flavor and the hint of warm cinnamon spice and maple syrup that feel more like fall.
This recipe would be delicious spread over warm, freshly-baked bread or rolls, but it’s also great to eat straight from the jar by the spoonful too. And it’s a pretty adaptable recipe, too, because you can double or triple the recipe if you have more peaches, and you can adjust the amounts of maple syrup and sugar, too, if you want it to be more or less sweet or to have more or less maple flavor.
This recipe is an old-fashioned style, slow-cooked jam rather than one that uses pectin to thicken it. So it does take a bit more time for it to simmer down and thicken up, but other than stirring it occasionally, you can let it simmer on it’s own while you get other stuff done around the house and just check on it once and awhile.
This is also a recipe that I would recommend storing in freezer-safe mason jars if you want to store it long-term, because I haven’t tested the recipe for canning, and I don’t know how the maple syrup might affect the shelf life of the jam if it was canned. But in the freezer it will keep for several months (and the last time I made a batch of this jam it didn’t even need to last for several months because it had all been eaten well before that time . . .)
So, without further ado, here is my favorite recipe for a late summer, early fall cinnamon maple peach jam. I hope you enjoy!
This cinnamon maple peach jam tastes like the perfect blend of late summer and early autumn with the bright peach flavor and the hints of spice and maple. This jam is an old-fashioned style, slow-cooked recipe that doesn't use any pectin for thickening. If you don't have enough maple syrup or want to use less of it you can use 1/2 cup of syrup and 1/2 cup of sugar instead. The jam will just have a bit less maple flavor (but it will still taste delicious!) This recipe hasn't been tested for canning, so for long-term storage I recommend keeping this in the freezer. (Although from personal experience I can tell you that it disappears pretty quickly, so long-term storage might not even be necessary...)
