Peach Jam:
- 3 1/2 pounds peaches (1 lb = 3 to 4 medium peaches), peeled, pitted, and cut into chunks
Sugar Mixture:
- 2 1/2 cups sugar (adjust to taste)
- Juice from one lemon
Instructions
- Add peaches and lemon juice: In a medium saucepan, combine peaches and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, using a spatula or masher to crush the peaches to your desired consistency.
- Add sugar: Reduce heat to medium, then add the sugar to the peach mixture. Bring the peaches back to a full rolling boil, stirring frequently.
- Boil and stir: Continue to boil and stir until the peaches reduce and reach the desired consistency, about 15 to 25 minutes. The jam should stick to a spoon when lifted and turned sideways.
- Cool and adjust: Let the peach preserves cool. If the jam is not at the desired consistency, bring it back to a boil for about 10 minutes, then let it cool again.
