Fig Peach Jam with Lemon and Pink Pepper - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh ones for this jam?

Yes, frozen peaches work well. Thaw and drain excess liquid before using to avoid a watery jam.

What can I substitute for pink pepper if I can't find it?

Black peppercorns or a pinch of cayenne pepper can add a slight heat, though the flavor profile will differ slightly.

How long does this jam last, and how should I store it?

Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year. Once opened, refrigerate and use within 2-3 weeks.

Can I make this jam sugar-free?

Yes, use a sugar substitute like erythritol or stevia, but the texture and shelf life may vary. Pectin may be needed for thickening.

What's the best way to sterilize jars for this jam?

Wash jars in hot soapy water, then boil for 10 minutes or run through a dishwasher cycle before filling.

Can I use lime instead of lemon for a different citrus flavor?

Absolutely! Lime zest and juice will add a tangy twist, balancing the sweetness of the peaches and figs.

Is this jam suitable for canning?

Yes, follow standard canning procedures (boiling water bath for 10 minutes) to ensure preservation and safety.

How can I adjust the recipe if I don't have a slow cooker?

Simmer gently in a heavy-bottomed pot on low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, for about 1-1.5 hours.

What are some creative ways to use this jam besides toast?

Try it as a glaze for roasted meats, swirled into yogurt, or as a filling for thumbprint cookies.
