This delicious Homemade Peach Jam is perfect for spreading on toast, adding to yogurt, or using as a topping for desserts. It’s sweet, slightly tart, and incredibly satisfying.
Ingredients
- 4 cups peaches peeled, pitted, and mashed
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 packet pectin optional, for thicker jam
Instructions
- In a large pot, combine the mashed peaches, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir well to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer for about 25-30 minutes or until the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency, stirring occasionally.
- If using pectin, stir it in during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- Remove from heat and carefully pour the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace. Seal the jars with lids.
- Let the jars cool to room temperature before storing them in the refrigerator or processing them in a water bath for longer storage.
