Ingredients - 1 lb 3-4 peaches, peeled, pitted, and cut into chunks - 1 1/2 cups sugar - 2 tbsp lemon juice Equipment - Medium-sized pot - Pairing knife or other small sharp knife for fruit - Cutting Board - Potato Masher or Spatula - Wooden or Silicon Spoon Instructions 1. Peel, cut and pit the peaches. 2. Cut them into chunks 3. Add peaches, lemon juice and sugar to a pot. 4. Bring to boil over medium-high heat 5. Once the peaches are soft, use a spatula or masher to crush the peaches to the desired consistency. 6. Stir frequently until the peaches have reduced and reached the desired consistency. (Anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes – jam should stick to the spoon when lifted and turned sideways.) 7. Transfer to jars and let the peach preserves cool fully before sealing with a lid and placing in a fridge. Notes Lemon juice is naturally high in pectin and will help the jam set if you find the jam is not at the consistency you desire, you can bring the peaches back to a boil for about 10 minutes and then let it cool again.
