How to Make peach jam

Step 1

The first thing you need to do is prepare the peaches: Wash them well. To make them easier to peel, boil them for 30 seconds, then place them in ice water. The skins will slide off easily! Cut the peaches in half, remove the seeds, and then cut them into small pieces.

Step 2

I’ll now show you how to make the jam: In a large saucepan, combine the chopped peaches, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir well, then increase the heat to medium-high. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly to prevent it from burning.

Step 3

Simmer and Stir: Reduce heat to medium and keep the mixture at a simmer. Stir regularly for about 20–30 minutes. As the jam cooks, it will thicken. Use a spoon to mash the peaches a little, or leave them chunky if you like bits of fruit in your jam then Test the Jam: To check if it’s done, place a small spoonful on a plate and let it cool for a minute. Run your finger through it if it wrinkles and stays separated, it’s ready. If not, cook a few minutes more.

Step 4

Finally, jar: Carefully pour the hot jam into clean jars. Let them cool to room temperature, then seal with lids. If you don’t plan to can the jam for long-term storage, refrigerate it after it cools.
