This is good stuff! Much more interesting than plain peach jam. It was delicious over vanilla icecream and followed by chocolate syrup. Yum!

I made this without the bourbon and it still tastes great. I would describe it as more of a thick sauce than a jam, as it calls for 2 more cups of peaches than the pectin box jam recipe.

This is an excellent jam and an easy recipe to follow. I didn't have bourbon so I just used some whiskey that I had on hand. As another reviewer stated the whiskey really helps round out the vanilla flavor. It set up beautifully. Will make again for sure.
