No Pectin Peach Jam Recipe & Instructions:
Makes 6, 1/2 pint jars
-Ingredients
5 pounds ripe peaches
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 1/2 cups sugar
-Procedure
To peel the peaches, slash a shallow "X" in the pointed end of each fruit. Working with a few at a time, blanch the peaches for 60 to 90 seconds in boiling water, or until the skin loosens. Lift the peaches out of the water using a slotted spoon & set them in a bowl of ice water to cool; remove the skins & pits from the peaches. Slice each peach into quarters, then cut each quarter crosswise into fourths. Mix the peaches with the lemon juice, stir in the sugar,& leave to macerate for 30 minutes.
Turn the fruit-sugar mixture into a large preserving pan, & rapidly bring to a full boil. Reduce over high heat to the gel point, 8 to 10 minutes at a full rolling boil, while stirring constantly. Do not stop stirring your peaches during this 10 minutes, bc your peach jam could scorch or burn. If the jam is too chunky for your liking, turn off the heat & stir with a whisk for another minute, to break down the chunks. Ladle the hot jam into six prepared 1/2-pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Seal the jars, & process in a boiling-water bath for 10 minutes.
- Check the jars to make sure they have sealed properly. The lids shouldn't move up & down when you press in the middle of the lid. If a jar hasn't sealed, you can refrigerate it & go ahead & enjoy!

We went to the farmer's market this weekend bc we wanted to pick up a basket of peaches. Well when we got there, they had peaches on sale for $12 a box! So we grabbed 2 boxes of peaches & decided to make some canned peaches, peach preserves, & some no pectin peach jam.
I just love Kevin West's book, Saving The Season, & so I went with his easy peach jam recipe. Bc so far, Kevin's book has yet to fail me thus far.
And just like his easy strawberry jam & also his blackberry jam, the peach jam was so easy to make & was just absolutely delicious. I cannot say if this is the best peach jam recipe in the world, but it dang sure is some really good peach jam, & the peach jam was super easy to make.
