Another jam, because I am a great homemade jam lover and today it shall be my mum’s peach jam recipe, which is of course without pectin.

In order to get up in the morning and to receive my daily dose of inspiration, I prepare something that we in french call a tartine.

It’s basically a bread slice covered with butter and jam, just that in my case I completely and always skip the butter so that I am left with a slice of sweet homemade jam.

I bet you too will have a special simple breakfast item that is dear to your heart.

In my case, it’s my homemade fruit jam and bread.

A few years ago, I actually described once in detail to an Indian tourist couple that in my corner of the world we were mostly enjoying a bread covered with a thick lush layer of butter and jam or honey for breakfast.

They did not want to understand my breakfast habits and kept on mentioning stubbornly the English breakfast, which, as you know, includes eggs, bacon, sausage baked beans, mushroom, tomato and toast.

Maybe they just didn’t understand that Austria didn’t equal Australia (English breakfast and Australia?! I know!), because this country confusion does happen frequently, or in retrospect, I even believe they were just amazed, not in a good way, that there were people in this world eating fatty pork bacon.

I got the hints when they kept on mentioning bacon, sausage and pork!

Bewildered by the notion they forgot about my bread and jam…

Years later I was trying to convince my husband to love jam and bread for breakfast.

I thought I failed even after introducing real jam into his life.

But he did prepare his own tartine nearly every single day when we were in Europe and I was of course entirely surprised.

His explanation for this phenomenon was that the weather was cool and inviting his appetite to start the day with bread butter and jam.

So naturally, motivated by my husband’s temporarily new breakfast choices, I asked my mum if we could share her jam recipe classics.

Amongst the many fruit jam and jelly recipes that she prepares year by year around harvesting time, she also has a peach jam recipe.

Luckily we were in Europe back in August when the peaches ripened, I absolutely wanted to share a photo of how peaches grow.
