Canned Peach Low-Sugar Jam ### Ingredients

4 cups fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and chopped
1 cup granulated sugar (or your preferred low-calorie sweetener)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 packet pectin (such as Ball® fruit pectin)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
Jars and lids for canning

Instructions

Prepare your jars: Sterilize your canning jars by placing them in a boiling water bath for about 10 minutes. Keep them in hot water until ready to use.
Prepare the peaches: In a large bowl, mash the chopped peaches with a potato masher until they’re slightly smooth but still have some texture.
Cook the mixture: In a large pot, combine the mashed peaches, sugar, lemon juice, and pectin. Stir well and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir constantly to prevent sticking.
Boil: Once boiling, let the mixture cook for 10-15 minutes or until the jam reaches your desired consistency. You can test it by placing a spoonful on a cold plate and running your finger through it; if it holds its shape, it’s ready.
Fill the jars: Remove the sterilized jars from the hot water and fill each jar with the hot peach jam, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean cloth to ensure a good seal.
Seal the jars: Place the lids on the jars and screw the rings on until they are fingertip tight.
Process: Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure they are sealed properly.
Cool and store: Remove the jars from the water bath and let them cool on a clean towel or cooling rack. Once cooled, check the seals and store your peach jam in a cool, dark place.

Enjoy your delicious homemade low-sugar peach jam spread on breakfast favorites or as a sweet treat on top of desserts. Happy canning!
