Time 2h

Yield About 7 (1-cup) jars or 112 servings, 1 Tbsp. each

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

4 cups prepared fruit (about 3 lb. fully ripe peaches)
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 tsp. produce protector (optional)
1 box SURE-JELL Fruit Pectin
1/2 tsp. butter or margarine (optional)
5-1/2 cups sugar, measured into separate bowl (See tip below.)

Steps:

Bring boiling-water canner, half-full with water, to simmer. Wash jars and screw bands in hot soapy water; rinse with warm water. Pour boiling water over flat lids in saucepan off the heat. Let stand in hot water until ready to use. Drain well before filling.
Peel and pit peaches. Finely chop fruit. Measure exactly 4 cups prepared fruit into 6- or 8-quart saucepot. Add lemon juice and fruit protector; stir until well blended. Stir in pectin. Add butter to reduce foaming, if desired. Bring to full rolling boil (a boil that doesn't stop bubbling when stirred) on high heat, stirring constantly.
Stir in sugar. Return to full rolling boil and boil exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.
Ladle immediately into prepared jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with 2-piece lids. Screw bands tightly. Place jars on elevated rack in canner. Lower rack into canner. (Water must cover jars by 1 to 2 inches. Add boiling water, if necessary.) Cover; bring water to gentle boil. Process 10 minutes. Remove jars and place upright on towel to cool completely. After jars cool, check seals by pressing middle of lid with finger. (If lid springs back, lid is not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.)

Time 1h30m

Yield Makes 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

3 1/2 pounds peaches (8 to 10), peeled, halved, pitted, and cut into chunks
1 1/4 pounds sugar (scant 3 cups)
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Coarse salt

Steps:

Working in batches, pulse peaches in a food processor until chunky. Transfer to a small saucepan, and add sugar, lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Boil, continuing to stir, until bubbles slow, foam subsides, fruit rises to the top, and jam sticks to a spoon when lifted, about 12 minutes. Let cool. Refrigerate until completely cooled.

Tips:

Use ripe, fresh peaches: This will ensure the best flavor and texture.
Peel and pit the peaches: This can be done by hand or with a kitchen tool.
Use a large pot: This will give the jam plenty of room to bubble and thicken.
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil: This will help the pectin to set and thicken the jam.
Stir the jam frequently: This will prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
Test the jam for doneness: The jam is done when it reaches a temperature of 220°F (105°C) or when a small amount of jam dropped onto a cold plate wrinkles when pushed with your finger.
Let the jam cool slightly: This will make it easier to handle and store.
Store the jam in a clean, airtight container: The jam can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or in the freezer for up to 1 year.

Conclusion:

Peach jam is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed on toast, biscuits, pancakes, or waffles. It can also be used as a filling for pies, tarts, and other desserts. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make your own peach jam at home. So next time you have a bounty of fresh peaches, be sure to give this recipe a try!
