Quick and Easy Peach Jam

Summer means fresh peaches and that means I'm making this easy peach jam - from scratch! I'll tell you - it's so good - I've eaten two jars of it already. Summer fruit season is definitely my favorite!

Instructions
 

  • Fill small sauce pan half full with water and bring to boil. Remove from heat. Place rings and lids from jars into the hot water bath. Be sure jars are washed and rinsed with super hot water right before you fill them.
  • Peel and pit peaches. Finely chop fruit. Measure 4 cups of fruit and place into an 8 quart sauce pot. If your peaches aren't super ripe, you can put the chopped pieces into a little mini blender so they cook down more easily. 
    4 cups peaches
  • Add lemon juice and fruit pectin and stir until well blended.
    2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 box Sure-Jell Fruit Pectin
  • Bring to a full rolling boil on high heat, stirring constantly. Using a potato masher, mash any chunks of peaches so they can cook down.
  • Stir in sugar. Return to full rolling boil and boil exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly.
    4 1/2 cups sugar
  • Remove from heat. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.
  • Ladle peach mixture immediately into prepared jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of tops. Wipe rims and threads. Cover with lids and rings. Screw bands tightly.
  • Place jars upside down on a towel until cooled.
  • Check seals by pressing middle of lid with finger. If lid springs back, lid is not sealed and you'll need to refrigerate.
