Ingredients
- 4 ½ cups granulated white sugar
- 4 large or 5 medium-size ripe peaches see exact measurement for peaches below in step 3
- 1 ½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 ½ ounces (98g) of powdered pectin (I use 2 boxes of SureJell which is readily available at most larger supermarkets. Each box is 1.75 ounces or 49g.)
- 1½ cups water
Instructions
- Wash and rinse glass jars (or plastic containers) and lids in the dishwasher or with hot soapy water. Dry thoroughly.
- Cut the peaches in half from top to bottom. Remove the pit then slice each half into ¼-inch slices. Dice the slices into ¼-inch pieces or smaller. (I like to use my chopper for this. See post above.)
- Measure exactly 3 cups of the diced peaches into a large microwave-safe bowl. Add the sugar and lemon juice and stir well for 1 minute.
- Place the bowl in the microwave on high power for 3 minutes. (Mixture will not cook, but will become hot enough for the sugar to dissolve). Remove from microwave and stir well for another minute.
- Allow this peach/sugar mixture to sit for 1 hour, giving it a good stir after about 30 minutes.
- Take a taste to make sure the sugar is dissolved. If it still has a bit of a grainy texture, give it another 3-minute stint in the microwave then stir until sugar is well dissolved. (When the sugar is well-dissolved the mixture will actually deepen in color and lose it's "cloudiness". That's when you're ready for the next step.)
- Mix the 1½ cups water and pectin in a medium-size saucepan. Bring to boil on high heat, stirring constantly. Cook and stir 1 minute, adjusting the heat so the mixture doesn't boil over. Add to peach mixture; stir for 3 minutes (no cheating!).
- Fill all the jars to within ½-inch of tops. Wipe off top edges of containers and cover with the lids. Let the jam stand at room temperature 24 hours or until nicely set. Refrigerate up to 3 weeks or freeze up to 1 year. (If frozen, thaw in refrigerator before using.)
Notes
- See Café Tips above in the post for more detailed instructions and tips.
- Makes about 6½ cups of jam.
