Instant Pot PeachJam Recipe With Pectin
Yesterday, we showed you how to make Raspberry Jam No Pectin in the Instant Pot Pressure Cooker and today is the turn of an Instant Pot Peach Jam Recipe With Pectin.
I love peaches and any of the peach’s family. I love the factthat not only can you make peach jam with pectin, but you could also makeapricot jam with pectin or nectarine jam with pectin, while following my main Instant Pot Peach Jam recipe.
That is what is wonderful about these fruits. They have alot in common with each other and are perfect for mix and matching when you’re jammaking.
My grandad used to grow peaches on his allotment, along withmany other delicious in season fruits and vegetables. I loved to hang out withmy grandad and watch as you saw growing process of your fruit and then got excitedwhen you could take one from the tree.
Whenever I ate some fresh peaches or nectarines, my Grandadwould be there with a big tissue ready to clean up the juices once I hadfinished.
Like any kid you couldn’t wait until you had another one andanother one.
Even now as someone in their late 30’s I still have a peach addiction and there is no better way to enjoy your peaches, than to load them up into the Instant Pot Pressure Cooker and make a batch of peach jam with pectin.
Peach Jam RecipeWith Pectin Vs Peach Jam Without Pectin
Did you know that one step in the peach jam recipe makingprocess and you can change your peachjam recipe with pectin into a peach jamwithout pectin?
Yes REALLY!
Have a look at this picture of my peach jam. It is at thetime when I have cooked it in the Instant Pot, taken the lid off and given it aquick stir.
What you see isexactly how it looks:
At this point if you lose the liquid and put it under a sieveit will be just made up of the thick poached peach pieces with the sugars. Youcan then blend it with a hand blender, and you have a peach jam ready for thefridge.
It will be super thick and won’t need any pectin adding. It can then be placed into mason jars and cooled in the fridge.
The plan B thoughif you want peach jam with pectin, is to take what you have and blend straightaway. No waiting to remove the liquid and instead add pectin at this point.
It will go to the right consistency because of the pectinand you would stir in the pectin and then fridge in mason jars as usual.
I like both versions and love both peach jam with pectin andpeach jam without pectin.
Making Peach JamIn The Instant Pot
You could cook peaches in the Instant Pot, in so many differentways, but using fresh peaches to make peach jam is probably the most famous.
It is just a delicious quick use of fruit in the InstantPot.
It is also hands free.
Dump all your ingredients into the Instant Pot, set thevalve to sealing and then blend when done. How can peach jam be that simple???You’re waiting for the small print but there isn’t any!
The Instant Pot we have, that we used to make our peach jam recipe with pectin, is the Instant Pot Duo and you can order it here or read our Instant Pot Review.
We also used our favourite mason jars for our peach jam along with a good ladle from our kitchen accessories pack to ladle the peach jam into the jars. We also recommend a good hand blender to finish the peach jam.
How To Cook PeachJam With Pectin
For cooking peach jamrecipe with pectin in the Instant Pot is a quick process.
It starts by throwing all your main ingredients into the Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. This includes your sugar, peaches and lemon.
The Instant Pot Peach Jam cooks under pressure in the Instant Pot until you have what looks like poached peaches in a peach syrup.
Because it is still piping hot, it’s the perfect temperatureto add in your thickening agent such as your pectin, then pour into mason jarsready to be chilled.
Once the peach jam has been chilled in the fridge, it isready to be eaten or it can be stored in the freezer for another time.
Can You Use ApricotsIn Peach Jam?
Absolutely! Mix and match any of the nectarines, peaches orapricots family. Just make sure that when you have chopped them all up, thatafter stones have been removed that you have a weight of 900g of fruit.
Otherwise, the balance of fruit to sugar will be off andyour peach jam will not be very nice.

Recipe Ingredients:
- 900 g Fresh Peaches
- 785 g Caster Sugar
- 1 Medium Lemon
- 1 Tbsp Vanilla Essence
- 2 Tsp Honey
- 1 Packet Peach Jelly Powder
Metric – Imperial
Instructions
Slice your fresh peaches, removing the stones as you go.
Remove the rind and the juice from a medium lemon.
Dump into your Instant Pot the peaches, lemon, caster sugar, honey and vanilla essence.
Place the lid on the Instant Pot, set the valve to sealing and cook for 2 minutes on manual pressure.
Allow natural pressure release for 10 minutes.
Manually release pressure after 10 minutes and stir the contents of your Instant Pot.
Add in your pectin/thickener and stir.
Using a hand blender, blend the contents of the Instant Pot until nearly smooth.
Pour into mason jars and place in the fridge.
Leave to chill for 12 hours and then freeze or eat!
Notes
Its important that you allow natural pressure release. Otherwise the syrup from the peaches will cause an Instant Pot explosion. Before using your mason jars for your jam making, do sterilise them.
A pectin option is jelly powder. Use a little packet (approximately 85g) and pour into your Instant Pot after the cooking process ends. It works as an excellent jam setter. If you don’t want to use a pectin or other thickener, then drain and remove the excess liquid and blend the peaches and you have peach jam without pectin.
The weight of peaches mentioned above, is based on the weight after you have removed the stones. When making peach jam in the Instant Pot, it is assumed that you will cook the skin too. It tastes good when made into peach jam and nobody will know that you didn’t peel them.
