Notes
Use Ripe Peaches: The sweeter the peaches, the better the flavor of your jam. Make sure to use fully ripe peaches for the best taste and natural sweetness
Adjust the Spice Level: If you prefer a milder jam, remove the seeds from the peppers. For extra heat, leave the seeds in or add a few more peppers to the mix.
Sterilize Your Jars: For long-term storage, make sure to sterilize your jars and lids before filling them with jam to prevent spoilage.
Cool Before Storing: Let the jam cool completely before storing it in jars to allow it to thicken properly and set into the right texture.
