My absolute favorite thing to make with ripe peaches is jam — it’s one of those things that just tastes almost too good to be true. This recipe is for a low sugar jam, to really let the summer sweetness of ripe peaches shine. I can’t even tell you how magical this stuff is with a bowl of yogurt, or sandwiched between some cake layers if you’re trying to be fancy :-)
