It’s August in East Hampton and if ever there was a time to make this Peach Melon Almond jam it’s now. Peaches are at their height, the perfect partner for the translucent nuggets of ripe cantaloupe in this jewel-toned beauty of a jam. 
Yesterday a discerning friend proclaimed “The best jam I’ve ever had, hands down.”
So what are you waiting for?
