Peach Jam with Coffee Beans

For peach jam with coffee beans, you can use fruits in different conditions. Therefore, it is wise to buy not the most expensive and beautiful fruits, wash them carefully, remove the pits and cut them into random pieces.

To fully reveal the aroma of coffee beans, they need to be ground. Crush the required amount of grains in a mortar. You can grind them with any available tools. The main thing is not to finely grind the beans, but to crush them. If you crush them too finely, all the coffee dust will get into the jam and change its amber color. The amount of beans used can vary based on personal preference. If you want a strong coffee aroma, then put 4-5 tablespoons, if you want to feel only a light coffee flavor, then use 2-3 tablespoons of beans.

Pour the crushed coffee beans into a cheesecloth bag. Put the sliced peaches in a cooking pot for jam, sprinkle them with sugar (adjust the amount of sugar to your taste), squeeze lemon juice, and add the cheesecloth bag with crushed coffee beans. You can also add a vanilla bean if you like the combination of coffee + vanilla. Mix all the ingredients and leave for approximately 1-2 hours. Usually, 1 hour is enough.

Cook the peaches over low or medium heat for about 30 minutes. Don't forget to stir the jam. At the end of cooking, remove the bag with coffee beans. You can distribute the ready jam into sterilized jars and seal them. This jam can be stored in a pantry until the next harvest.

A very delicious idea for a Sunday breakfast would be toast with this aromatic and unusual jam. You can spread butter or cottage cheese on the toast, or you can directly put the peach jam with coffee beans on a hot toasted slice of bread. It's very tasty! Enjoy!
