Peach and Jalapeno Jam

I feel that summer is never long enough -by the time your tomatoes are ready to eat summer is almost over...  Now is the time to preserve every bit of summer you can.  

Summer peaches in all their glory work perfectly with the fresh bite of the jalapeno.  

Spread on everything.
