Instructions
- Wash, peel, and slice the peaches. Blanching in boiling water for 30 seconds, then ice water, makes peeling easier. Slice into 1/2-inch pieces.
- In a large saucepan, combine peaches, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir well.
- Stir in the liquid pectin. Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly.
- Boil hard for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat; skim off any foam. Ladle hot jam into sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace.
- Wipe jar rims clean. Place lids and rings on jars; tighten fingertip tight. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust for altitude).
- Cool completely. Check seals. Store sealed jars in a cool, dark, dry place. Refrigerate unprocessed jam and use within 2-3 weeks.
Notes
For a thicker jam, increase the amount of sugar slightly. Adjust sweetness to your preference. Consider adding spices like cinnamon or cardamom for flavor variations.
