Ingredients
  1. 2 pounds peaches
  2. 1 cup granulated sugar
  3. ¼ cup sriracha
  4. Juice of ½ lemon
Instructions
  1. Prepare a boiling water bath and heat jars in boiling water.
  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. While it heats, fill a large bowl with cold water and ice. Blanch the peaches in the boiling water for 1 – 2 minutes then immediately transfer to ice water.
  3. Slip off the skins of the peaches, cut peaches in half and remove pit. Place the peaches in a skillet and using a potato masher, smash them into a pulp.
  4. Add the lemon juice and sugar, place over medium high heat. Stirring regularly, bring the fruit to a boil and cook until it bubbles and looks quite thick (about 10-12 minutes). It’s done when you pull a spatula through the jam and it doesn’t immediately rush to fill the space you’ve cleared. After about 8 minutes, add the sriracha and keep stirring.
  5. Remove jam from the stove and fill hot jars, leaving ½ inch headspace. Check for air bubbles. Wipe rims, cover with prepared lids. Screw on bands until resistance is met; increase to fingertip tight. Place in boiling water canner for 20 minutes (adjusted for Calgary altitude).
