Ingredients

  • 8 peaches ( peeled, cored and chopped they weighted 550 g or 1.2 lb)
  • 200 g granulated sugar ( 1 cup)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Peel, core and chop the peaches into chunks.
  2. Add them to a sauce pan together with the sugar and lemon juice, and mix well.
  3. Set the pan over a medium heat and let the fruit simmer gently, they will start to release liquid really quickly.
  4. Continue to simmer the jam until the fruit is broken down into a mush and most of the liquid is absored.
  5. Use a potato masher to mash some of the fruit that is still holding the shape.
  6. Remove the pan from the heat, and add the jam to sterilised jars, tightening the lids really well.
  7. Turn the jars upside down and leave them to cool down completely.

Notes

  • Do not simmer the jam until there is no liquid left and the jam has a firm texture, as the jam cool down completely it will set further, and you will end up with a rock solid texture otherwise - have a look at the video to see how the ideal consistency of the jam is.
  • The best way to sterilise jars is to wash / rinse them and place them in a hot oven for 10 minutes, then carefully remove them from the oven and add the jam while it is still hot.
  • Fit the lids on very well, then turn the jars upside down to cool completely - that will ensure that the jams stays in perfect condition for a long time - some of my jams are still fine 2 years later!
