Instant Pot Peach or Fig Jam

It’s easier than you think—just leave the peels on for natural thickening when using those Texas peaches.

Ingredients  

Instant Pot Peach Jam

  • 3 pounds peaches, peels on, roughly chopped, pits discarded
  • 2 cups sugar
  • juice from 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • pinch of salt

Fig Jam

  • 3 pounds figs
  • 1½ cups sugar
  • juice and zest from 1 lemon
  • pinch of salt

Directions 

Instant Pot Peach or Fig Jam

  • Place fruit, sugar, and seasonings in the Instant Pot and stir to combine.
  • Secure the lid of the Instant Pot and set to cook on high pressure for 2 minutes. Let the pressure come down naturally (or let it come down naturally for 15 minutes and then manually reset, if you're in a hurry).
  • Remove the lid and set to sauté mode. Simmer the jam, stirring with a rubber spatula, until slightly thickened, 5 minutes or so. The jam should be a bit runnier than you’d like when you remove it from the heat, as it will thicken further as it cools.
  • Let cool completely. Store in the refrigerator for short-term use, or freeze to use during the winter.
