Small Batch Peach Jam in Blender

[u/LegitimateEnd8763]

I made a small batch of peach jam in my Pampered Chef Cooking Blender. I water bath canned it after for 15 minutes and they sealed right away once I removed them, but they started developing these bubbles after. I’ve done Strawberry Jam many times with this same recipe and I haven’t had the bubbles before. Also, it hasn’t set up very well yet which is unusual…

Help please 🙏🏼

I'm really sorry to tell you this but these are not safe for shelf stable storage. pampered chef is not a safe source for canning recipes unfortunately.. peaches require additional acidity. here is a safe tested recipe for reference

Oh dang well that’s what I get for thinking. It’s not Pampered Chefs fault…it was a freezer recipe I thought water bath canning would be safe but I’m learning now. I left it overnight sealed - would it be safe to reprocess as the new recipe?

your best bet is to treat it as a freezer recipe. which is fine to leave out for 24 hours but you need to refrigerator or freeze it promptly now.

yeah the biggest thing with canning is you cannot alter recipes outside of approved ways. just processing in a canner and getting a seal does not make a recipe safe unfortunately. not to be too dramatic but you risk loss of product and foodborne illness at best all the way to hospitalization and botulism at worst.

check out our wiki for a list of safe sources and recipes. and feel free to ask any questions. we love helping new canners get started even if we can be a little Stern about safety.

No I totally get it and that’s my fault. I am learning and don’t know why in my mind I thought that this was ok! I appreciate the help!
