Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh peaches, chopped
- 2 cups sugar
- Optional: 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Optional: Pectin (if desired)
Instructions
- Prepare your peaches by washing them under cool water, slicing them open, removing the pit, and chopping them into small pieces.
- Mash the chopped peaches in a mixing bowl using a potato masher or fork until desired consistency is achieved.
- Spoon in the sugar and stir until well combined; let sit for about 10 minutes to allow the sugar to draw out peach juices.
- Fill your jars with the mixture, ensuring that jars and lids are clean and dry, leaving about an inch of headspace for freezing.
- Freeze the jars immediately; jam can be stored in the freezer for up to a year.
Notes
You can use frozen peaches, but ensure they are unsweetened. Consider adding spices, vanilla, or other fruits for variations.
