Should I peel fruit before adding to instant pot?
I recommend peeling or buying frozen (already peeled) for better texture
Peaches don't have a lot of natural pectin like apples or citrus. You may want to add some Sure Gel or other fruit pectin products to get the thick spreadable jam you desire. Otherwise, it will be thinner, like ice cream topping. It all depends on how far you cook it down. But pectin is the answer here for jam.
What if it never gets thick? I tried this recipe and it was literally like applesauce but with peaches... never got thick??
Have you followed the the ratio of ingredients and instructions properly.
What is the final steps after putting in fridge? For how long?
Remember to refrigerate the jam after using. You can refrigerate the jam up to 2 weeks.
Can I put this peach jam and put it in pint jars and do a water bath for ten minutes without putting it in the refrigerator ?
Yes this method will be fine too.
Would this be like canning it, so it keeps longer?
I strongly recommend the canning process after preparation of the jam. Because it will preserve the jam for a long time.
