The Peach
Peaches (Prunus persica) are a beloved stone fruit, part of the Prunus genus, which also includes cherries, apricots, plums, and almonds. Peaches come in many varieties, each with its unique balance of sweetness and juiciness. At Nyanza Estates, we grow the golden-fleshed variety, known for its vibrant colour and rich flavour.
Peaches are typically classified as either clingstone or freestone, depending on how easily the fruit’s pit separates from its flesh. Most yellow-fleshed peaches, like ours, are clingstone, meaning the pit clings to the flesh, making these peaches particularly juicy and flavourful. Their intense sweetness and succulent nature make them ideal for jam-making, baking, and preserving. In contrast, freestone peaches, which release their pits more easily, are often preferred for fresh eating due to their slightly firmer texture.
At peak ripeness, our golden peaches burst with sweetness, complemented by a subtle floral fragrance and a velvety texture, making them a perfect base for our handcrafted jam.
Our Peach Jam
Nyanza Estates' peach jam is a true reflection of the sun-kissed peaches we grow on our farm. We handpick only the ripest, juiciest peaches from our orchards, ensuring each one is brimming with natural sweetness. Once harvested, we carefully prepare the fruit, cutting it into luscious chunks to preserve its natural texture.
Our peach jam is crafted with just the right balance of peaches and sugar, simmered together to create a jam that is rich in flavour and beautifully textured. The tender pieces of peach offer a delightful bite, while the sweetness is balanced by the natural tartness of the fruit, giving each spoonful a bright, fruity finish.
Like all our jams, our peach jam is made in small batches in our nut-free kitchens, using steam-jacketed stainless-steel pots to maintain the fruit’s integrity and flavour. We never use artificial colours or flavours; instead, we focus on highlighting the fruit’s natural qualities. Our recipes are simple yet meticulous, emphasizing the beauty of the peach in every jar.
