Fresh peaches and raspberries jam out in this homemade jam with lime and hints of cinnamon.
While many people are already jumping on the pumpkin-flavored food items popping up, I am hanging onto every last moment of peach season. In fact, with the last few peaches I had I decided to preserve them into jam to make it last even longer.
I’ve made a vanilla peach jam before, but this time I decided to mix in some raspberries from our garden as well as some lime and a dash of cinnamon. I literally just kept wafting the jam until I got it to smell like what I thought was good. And my sniffer was on point because damn it’s good.
All this jam will go perfectly with all the sourdough creations I continue to pump out. I still have some sourdough English muffins and rosemary sea salt sourdough bagels I made earlier in quarantine, frozen in our chest freezer. As a household of two I baked way more than we could ever keep up with but I am not complaining about having them reserved now!
But there are many other uses for jam than just spreading on bread. I have used it in cocktails before, homemade salad dressings, add to yogurt, bake it with brie, glaze meat, and the list goes on. What creative uses have you found for jam?

I’ve made Fresh Raspberry Peach jam for years with raspberries grown in our garden and hand picked peaches but never thought to add Lime, can’t wait to try this recipe this year.
The raspberries I used were also from my garden! I didn’t pick the peaches though, not many places had U-pick peaches this year.
I love this flavor combination – a perfect way to preserve the flavors of summer.
Ohhh Erin this jam sounds AMAZING! What a perfect combination of flavors!
Thank you so much! I was very happy with how it turned out.
What a wonderful flavor combination! Wish I could deal with all the sugar.
I know you love oats so maybe try those flavors in there!
