Old Fashioned Peach Jam

Prep Time1 hour
Cook Time20 minutes
Servings: 6 6 oz. jars

Equipment

  • 1 Stock Pot
  • 1 Ladle
  • 6 6 oz. Canning Jars

Ingredients

  • 4 cups Peaches diced
  • 1 packet Powdered Pectin
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 5 cups Sugar

Instructions

  • Start by preparing your jars and lids, making sure they are clean, sanitized and dry.
  • To a stock pot, add your diced peaches, pectin, and lemon juice. Mix well.
  • Bring to a rolling boil. Stirring frequently so it doesn’t burn. At this time you can mash your peaches. I prefer very little chunks.
  • It's important that it is at boiling point before adding your sugar. Add your sugar and bring to a rolling boil, that can’t be stirred down. Leave at a rolling boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
  • Fill each jar leaving a ¼ inch head space. Wipe down your rims, seal your jars, and it’s time for a 10 minute water bath. Let sit for 24 hours.
  • Enjoy! You'll never want to have store bought again.
