Preparation

In a nonstick saucepan, combine all the ingredients and mix well. Cook over medium heat, stirring regularly, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the mixture becomes syrupy and coats the back of a wooden spoon.
About halfway through cooking, use an immersion blender to partially blend the mixture, making sure to keep some larger peach pieces intact. Remove from the heat and let cool for about 30 minutes.
Transfer the jam into small clean jars. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight, to allow the texture to set slightly before serving.
