Skillet Strawberry Peach Pepper Jam
This skillet strawberry peach pepper jam is sweet, spicy and so tasty! My family loves to eat crostini slathered in warm brie and topped with a fruit pepper jam so I make this kind of jam often. Our strawberry patch has been bursting with berries and I can barely keep up with them so I decided to make a batch of spicy jam with them. We nearly devoured the whole jar with some creamy brie and crisp crostini for a smorgasbord dinner recently and we all thought it was fantastic.
How to Make Skillet Strawberry Peach Pepper Jam
Place the diced strawberries, peaches, finely diced jalapeno pepper, sugar, and lemon juice together in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat.
Cook, stirring often, until the berries, peaches, and liquids have reduced down to a thick jam, about 20-25 minutes. It’s done when a spoon pulled through the jam leaves a path in the skillet.
Pour into a glass jar and allow to cool. Cover with a tight lid and store in the refrigerator for a week. Enjoy.

I love the idea of this piled on top of a crostini with brie!!
How I wish I could eat strawberries. I love them but they do not like me. Keep safe and enjoy your day, Diane
Delicious combination for a jam.
It looks incredibly fresh and yummy!
I love a good pepper jelly. With Brie and crostini with pepper jelly is one of my weaknesses!
Can this be canned??
Valerie,
I’ve never tried so I’m not sure how it would turn out (ours disappears quickly in my house). If you try it, I would make sure to carefully follow canning procedures. Let me know if you give it a try and how it turns out.

I made this last night/this morning. Following the recipe, it yields 3 quarter (4 oz) pint jars. I did can mine. Heavy wash the jars in the dishwasher, then sterilize in a full rolling boil for at least 30 min. Leave 1/4 in headspace, and process in a full rolling boil for 40 min.
