Fresh Peach Jam

This jam recipe was found online,  I gave it a try with some fresh peaches and it turned out delish!

Ingredients:

    

    1 1/2 C fresh peaches peeled and diced

    2 T lemon juice

    2 T powered fruit pectin

    1 1/2 C granulated sugar

Instructions:

    In a medium saucepan, add peaches, lemon juice and pectin; mash peaches with a potato masher.

    

    Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring often.

    Once boiling, add sugar and stir until well combined.  Bring jam back to a boil, stirring constantly at this stage so the sugar doesn’t burn.  (For smoother jam, use a immersion blinder at this stage to process mixture until smooth.

    Once the mixture returns to a boil, let it boil for 4 minute, stirring constantly.

    To the the doneness of the jam, dip a spoon into the hot mixture and pull the spoon straight up.  If the Jam mixture runs off in a "liquidy" stream, then reduce the heat and simmer until the jam mixture drops off in dollops.

I needed to cook my jam for an additional 10 min on medium/low for a thicker consistency.

Let jam cool on the counter and transfer to an air tight container and store in the refrigerator.
