Ingredients
Scale
- 24 ounces fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and diced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1.75 ounces sure-jell powdered pectin
- 3 ½ cups granulated sugar
Instructions
- Peel, pit, and dice the peaches, then place them in a large pot. Use a potato masher or fork to crush the peaches until they reach your desired consistency.
- Stir in the lemon juice and pectin, ensuring everything is evenly mixed.
- Set the pot over medium-high heat and continuously stir as the mixture heats. Bring to a boil.
- Add the sugar in one go and stir until it completely dissolves.
- Return to a full rolling boil, letting it boil for 1 minute while stirring to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and skim off any surface foam if present.
- Pour the hot jam into clean mason jars, leaving about ¼ inch of space at the top. Wipe the rims clean and seal with lids.
- Allow to cool to room temperature before storing in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
Notes
Ensure jars are sterilized for longer shelf life.
This jam can be used as a filling for pastries or as a topping for yogurt.
Adjust the sugar to taste if the peaches are very sweet.
