"๐Ÿ‘Easy, No Pectin Peach Jam!๐Ÿ‘ If you can boil fruit in a pan, you can make this jam! Trust me: I'm the world's biggest chicken when it comes to canning, and I can handle this. And so can you! Find the recipe in the archives of Buttered Side Up, or cook from your phone/tablet below! ๐Ÿ‘‡ (Note: I would probably reduce the sugar to 2 cups if I made this again, and substitute honey or maple syrup) #peaches #summertime #homemade #canning"

ingredients

  • 6 pounds peaches
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 4 cups sugar

Method

  • Step 1

    Peel and pit the peaches, roughly chop and place in a large pot. Add the lemon juice and mash them together with a potato masher to desired consistency (I don't like my jam too chunky).

  • Step 2

    Stir in the sugar and bring to a boil over medium heat. Continue to boil, stirring frequently, until the jam reaches about 210-220 degrees F (99-105 C) and thickens, about 25-30 minutes (I didn't bother measuring the temperature and just boiled the jam until it looked good). You can test the thickness by dropping a little bit of jam onto a cold plate.

  • Step 3

    Ladle the jam into sterilized jars and either cool and refrigerate/freeze or process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
