Peach jam with Jamaica Rum essence

Can you capture summer in a jar? Yes—just reach for ripe peaches and make an aromatic jam. Thanks to the addition of Jamaica Rum essence, it gains depth and a unique character, and pectin helps reduce the amount of sugar while preserving a fresh, fruity flavor. This jam will be a great addition to morning oatmeal, crispy toast, or fluffy pancakes.
