Bourbon has been popular at our house since we visited the Kentucky Bourbon Trail a few years ago. Every bite of this jam reminds me of that fun trip. —Katie Ferrier, Houston, Texas

Ingredients

4 cups finely chopped peeled fresh peaches (about 6 medium)
1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons bourbon or 3 teaspoons vanilla or bourbon extract

Directions

In a large saucepan, combine peaches, sugars and lemon juice; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until mixture is thick and a thermometer reads 220°, about 60 minutes. Remove from heat; skim off foam. Stir in bourbon.
Ladle hot mixture into 3 hot half-pint jars, leaving 1/4-in. headspace. Remove air bubbles and adjust headspace, if necessary, by adding hot mixture. Wipe rims. Center lids on jars; screw on bands until fingertip tight.
Place jars in canner, ensuring that they are completely covered with water. Bring to a boil; process for 10 minutes. Remove jars and cool.

Test Kitchen tip

This is a loose jam, thicker than a syrup but thinner than the average spread. It's delicious with cream cheese as an appetizer or poured over ice cream.
