Vanilla Spiced Peach Jam

• 1 whole Vanilla Bean, Split
• 6 Tablespoons Lemon Juice, Fresh
• 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Ground Cardamom
• 1 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
• 2-1/2 cups Sugar, Or More As Needed
• 5 pounds Peaches, Peeled And Chopped

1. 1. Place all ingredients in a large heavy bottomed pot; stir to combine. Start with 2 1/2 cups sugar and increase to 3 if you feel it needs a little more sweetening after it has cooked for a while. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Boil about 15 minutes stirring occasionally.
2. 2. While the mixture boils, mash fruit with a potato masher to desired consistency. Continue to boil 5 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently, or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and discard vanilla bean.
3. 3. Pour hot jam into 8 sterilized 8-oz. jars. Carefully wipe jar rims; cover.
4. 4. Immediately process in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes.
5. Tip: I recommend cutting the peaches into cubes versus the slices you see in the picture. I had a hard time smashing them and actually had to pull out the immersion blender to help!
