Summer means peach jam, and making it yourself is easier than you might think. You can either freeze it or can it for later – both ways are delicious.

  • Total Time: 25
  • Yield: 1 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups chopped peaches (about 3 lbs whole)
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 box (1.75 oz) powdered pectin
  • 5 cups sugar

Instructions

  1. Prep the peaches: Peel, chop, and toss peaches with lemon juice to prevent browning.
  2. Cook the peaches: Combine peaches, juice, and pectin in a large pot. Bring to a boil, then cook for 2-3 minutes. Mash some peaches for a smoother jam, or leave them whole for a chunkier version.
  3. Add sugar and finish: Stir in sugar and return to a full boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
  4. Jarring: Ladle hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch space at the top. Seal with lids.
