A delightful peach preserve with a hint of vanilla, perfect for spreading on toast or as a topping for desserts.
Combine the sugar and the split vanilla bean in a large bowl.
Letting the vanilla infuse the sugar enhances the flavor.
Let the mixture sit for 24 hours, stirring occasionally.
Cover the bowl to keep the mixture clean and prevent contamination.
In a large pot, combine the peeled and chopped peaches, lemon juice, and pectin.
Peeling the peaches ensures a smoother texture for the preserve.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches a rolling boil.
A rolling boil is when the mixture continues to boil even while stirring.
Add the vanilla sugar to the pot and return to a rolling boil for 1 minute.
Ensure the sugar dissolves completely for a smooth preserve.
Remove the vanilla bean and ladle the preserve into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
Wipe the jar rims clean before sealing to ensure a proper seal.
Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
Adjust the processing time based on your altitude for safe preservation.
Allow the jars to cool completely before storing.
Check the seals after cooling to ensure they are airtight.
