Description
A sweet, golden peach jam made from fresh fruit and lemon juice. Easy to prepare, perfect for canning, spreading, or gifting.
Ingredients
4 cups peaches, chopped (from 3 lbs whole peaches)
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 box, 1.75 oz Powdered Pectin (Sure Jell)
5 cups sugar
Instructions
1. Peel and chop peaches.
2. Toss chopped peaches in lemon juice to prevent browning.
3. Place the peaches and lemon juice in a deep saucepan.
4. Add the pectin (not sugar) and bring to a boil. Cook 2–3 minutes, mash as desired.
5. Add sugar and stir. Bring back to boil and cook 1 more minute.
6. Turn off heat and ladle into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace.
7. Cap and refrigerate for short-term use, freeze or can for long-term storage.
8. Process in boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust for altitude).
Notes
Store sealed jars in a cool dark pantry for up to 18 months.
Once opened, refrigerate and use within 1 month.
Use frozen peaches if fresh aren’t available—just thaw and drain.
