Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Homemade Peach Jam

Wash 5 cups of ripe peaches under cool water, halve each peach, remove the pit, and chop into bite-sized pieces. This should take about 10 minutes.
In a large pot, combine the chopped peaches, 2 cups of sugar, and 1/4 cup of lemon juice. Stir and let it sit for 30 minutes.
Place the pot over medium heat and stir frequently until it reaches a gentle boil, which should take around 10 minutes.
Reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer. Cook for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C). Place clean jars on a baking sheet in the oven for about 10 minutes to sterilize.
Ladle the hot peach jam into the sterilized jars, filling each one to about 1/4 inch from the top.
Wipe the rims of the jars, place the lids on while they are still warm, and let the jars cool at room temperature.
