This easy-to-make recipe requires only a handful of ingredients and a few simple steps, resulting in a luscious spread that will brighten up your breakfast toast, dollop yogurt parfaits, or add a touch of sweetness to your favorite baked goods. We offer two variations to cater to your taste preferences: a classic version sweetened with granulated sugar for a traditional taste, and a healthier alternative sweetened with fruit juice for a naturally sweet and tangy flavor. Both versions are freezer-friendly, allowing you to enjoy the taste of summer all year round.

PEACH JAM
Steps:
- Have ready clean plastic or glass containers and lids.
- Peel and pit peaches. Finely chop or pulse fruit in a food processor until diced. Measure exactly 3 cups of diced peaches into a large bowl (You can eat any extra diced peaches leftover after measuring 3 cups.)
- Add one cup of sugar to the bowl and stir well. Rest for 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining sugar, adding it a little at a time and resting in between. Stir in lemon juice. Let mixture rest for 10 min.
- Taste the mixture and if it's still grainy from the sugar don't proceed until the sugar has dissolved! (If needed, you could place the heat-proof bowl or peaches over a saucepan of warm water on the stove. Gently stir the mixture and the heat will help the sugar to dissolve.)
- Meanwhile, add the water and pectin to a small saucepan and stir to combine. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil and stir for 1 minute, then remove from heat and add to the peach mixture. Stir jam for 3 minutes.
- You should notice the jam has thickened a little. A will continue to thicken a bit more as it rests. (See notes, if it is still very runny).
- Fill your glass or plastic containers, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Wipe rim of jars clean and cover with lids. Let stand at room temperature 24 hours. (This allows the jam time to set up, but feel free to enjoy one of the jars right away!)
- Store jam in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or freeze for up to 1 year.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful peaches for the best results.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the peaches by hand using a potato masher or fork.
- Be sure to measure the amount of fruit juice correctly. Too much juice will make the jam too runny, while too little juice will make it too thick.
- If you prefer a sweeter jam, you can add more honey or sugar to taste.
- Canning jars and lids should be sterilized before use to prevent spoilage.
- Process the jars in a boiling water bath for the recommended time to ensure a proper seal.
- Store the freezer jam in a cool, dark place for up to a year.
