Peach Vanilla Bean Jam

**Ingredients**

Peach Vanilla Bean Jam
Yield: about 8 cups
3 lbs. ripe peaches, peeled, pitted and coarsely chopped
3½ cups sugar
1-2 vanilla bean(s), halved lengthwise
Juice of 1 lemon
Mix together 1 tablespoon of water and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch

In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, combine all ingredients over medium heat.  Bring the mixture to a boil.  Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the fruit is partially caramelized with a dark orange color. Around 30-45 minutes.
YUMMY! This is a super sweet jam but amazing none the less!
*If you want it to be not so chunky, use an immersion blender at the end, once it has had a chance to cool off for a bit.

  1. This was SO good!! I made some vanilla-cinnamon scones JUST to use this jam and I practically drank this stuff instead of using it merely as a topping.
