Peach Jam Recipe

Before we get started, here’s a tempting image to inspire your jam-making journey:

Ingredients

Gather the following ingredients to create your own peach jam:

4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 package (1.75 oz) fruit pectin (like Sure-Jell)
1/4 cup water

Instructions

Follow these easy steps to whip up a batch of peach jam:

Start by preparing your peaches. Wash them thoroughly, then peel and dice into small pieces. Measure out 4 cups of diced peaches and place them into a large, heavy-bottomed pot.
Add the lemon juice to the peaches, stirring gently to combine. This helps bring out the flavors and adds a lovely tang to your jam.
In a separate bowl, mix the granulated sugar and fruit pectin together until well combined. This helps distribute the pectin evenly and prevents clumping.
Once your peaches are mixed with the lemon juice, sprinkle the sugar and pectin mixture over the top. Stir everything together until the peaches are well coated.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently until it starts to boil. Let it boil for 1-2 minutes. You’ll notice the mixture beginning to thicken.
Add the water to the pot and bring it back to a boil. Continue to boil for another minute while stirring constantly.
Remove the pot from the heat. Skim any foam that appears on the surface. This ensures a clear finish to your jam.
Pour the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of space at the top. Seal the jars tightly with lids.
As the jam cools, it will continue to set and thicken. Store your delicious peach jam in the refrigerator for up to a month or follow proper canning techniques for longer preservation.

Once you’ve made your peach jam, it’s time to enjoy it on toast, in desserts, or even as a topping for your favorite ice cream. Enjoy the fruits of your labor and share it with friends and family – they’ll be sure to ask for your recipe!
