Fresh Peach Jam

Peach jam is a wonderful way to preserve the vibrant flavors of fresh peaches, allowing you to enjoy the taste of summer all year round. This simple recipe can be enjoyed on toast, pancakes, or even as a sweet addition to your favorite desserts.

Ingredients

4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
5 cups granulated sugar
1 package (1.75 oz) fruit pectin (like Sure-Jell)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

Start by preparing the peaches. Peel, pit, and chop the peaches into small pieces. You should have around 4 cups of diced peaches.
In a large pot, combine the diced peaches, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon. Stir well and let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to release natural juices.
After ten minutes, add in the granulated sugar and stir continuously for about 3-5 minutes until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Next, place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring occasionally. Once it reaches a boil, add the fruit pectin and bring it back to a boil for another minute, ensuring that everything is well combined.
Remove the pot from the heat and skim off any foam that may have formed on the top.
Pour the hot peach jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of space at the top. Seal the jars tightly with lids.
To preserve the jam, process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Remove the jars from the water and let them cool completely on a kitchen towel or cooling rack.

Once cooled, your fresh peach jam is ready to be enjoyed! Spread it on crusty bread, blend it into yogurt, or use it as a delicious topping for desserts. This homemade peach jam will remind you of sunny days and the delightful taste of fresh fruit. Enjoy every bite!
