Spiced Peach Mango Jam

 I have become obsessed with the Homemade Jams. You will too once you try some homemade Jam. You wouldn't want to buy from store. Also Jams are so easy and simple to make and don't even take much time. Recently we went to Fredericksburg, TX for camping and hiking over the weekend and on our way back stopped for fruit picking. It was so much fun. We picked Peaches and Blackberries. These freshly picked Peaches taste so wonderful. They are so sweet and full of flavor. We picked almost 10 lbs of Peaches that we have been eating every day.

Look at this cluster of Peaches hanging from the tree.....Beautiful! Right?

 How could I not use these delicious Peaches to make Jam and Mango being my favorite fruit had to be a part of it. This time I added some Ground All Spice to the Jam and this added that extra something to the Jam. Loved it. We have been enjoying this delicious Jam with the Bread and Homemade Bagels.
