Prep : 10 Total : 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 kg Peaches Ripe and peeled, pitted and chopped
  • 0.75 cup Granulated Sugar Adjust to sweetness preference
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice Freshly squeezed
  • 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Combine the chopped peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon in a large pot or Dutch oven. Stir to combine.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the peaches break down and the mixture begins to thicken. This will take about 30-40 minutes.
  • To test for doneness, place a small amount of jam on a chilled plate. If it wrinkles when pushed, it's ready. If not, continue to cook and test every few minutes.
  • Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 0.5 inch of headspace. Wipe the rims clean and secure the lids.
  • Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Remove jars and let them cool on a wire rack for 12-24 hours. Check for a good seal.

Notes

Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place. Refrigerate after opening.
