A ton of peaches and the need for variety. I can go to the store and get a jar of peach preserve so why would I make them plain. Below are the basic Peach recipe and my variations for my additives to give them a twist.
Peach Jam - Basic recipe
6 cups Peaches, peeled, pitted and sliced
5 cups sugar
1/2 cup bottled lemon juice
l box powdered pectin
To make this a low sugar recipe: Reduce sugar to 2 cups and add 3 T. Ball Flex batch no sugar/low sugar pectin or a box of Sure-Jell low sugar pectin.

Directions:
Wash and slice or chop fully-ripe peaches. Crush fruit. Place crushed fruit and 1/2 cup water in a large dutch over. Cover, bring to a boil adding sugar as you stir. Then add powdered pectin and lemon juice. Bring to a full boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Bring to a full rolling boil that cannot be stirred down. Boil hard 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, quickly skim off foam. Pour jelly immediately into hot, sterile canning jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe jar rims and adjust lids. Process for 10 minutes in a boiling water bath.

For Blueberry version cook to 220 degrees 2 cups of blueberries down to a pulp. Alternate peach jelly and blueberry in the jar and process.

For Vanilla add 2 t. of vanilla paste the basic peach jelly. I get my vanilla paste from William's Sonoma for the most delicious taste.. much better than vanilla extract. You can also use a whole vanilla bean split open to expose the beans.
For Cinnamon add 1 Tablespoon of to the basic peach jelly before the boil. For a really awesome flavor I use a Penzey's Ceylon Cinnamon.

Could a vanilla bean be used instead of vanilla paste? Do you only post tested recipes? Or do you test the recipes before they are posted? Thanks!
You can use vanilla bean instead. You need to split the bean lengthwise and slide a knife down it to extract the pods. I test the recipes that have my picture next to them. I think there are only three or so that I have not done, but the if I post the recipe they are safe.
Thanks! Does your site have any entries about how to modify canning recipes safely? Or is there a website or somewhere you recommend that covers this topic?
I think I'm going to make a batch of Cinnamon Peach Jelly today...
