We love peaches around here. Really love peaches. So when I told the kids we were going to make peach jam, they all jumped in to help. And really, what's better than getting the whole family involved in making a delicious treat we can enjoy all year! To start, we need to peel and cut our peaches. We need four cups of chopped peaches, so time to get peeling! The easiest way to peel a peach is to boil them for just a few minutes, then drop them in ice water. From there, the skins will pop right off. Although, the best way to peel a peach is to have someone else do it for you!
Next, we need to cut the peaches.
Now we add four cups of chopped peaches to a large pot, along with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Add in one box of pectin and bring it to a full rolling boil; add sugar, and boil for one minute. Remove from heat and skim any foam off.
Ladle into warm jars, wipe rims, add lids and rings, then process in waterbath canner for 10 minutes.
Let sit for 24 hours and check your seals on the jars. What's your favorite jam or jelly? Link up for canning recipe

Oh my goodness. I wish I'd thought of making peach jam before I froze all those peaches. Guess I'll have to go get more. What could be better than peach jam!
Your day looks like fun! I used to watch my mom make and can jam when I was a child, but I've never made it myself. I've always wanted to, so this is one of my goals for next year!
Just did my first canning session. Made some very yummy salsa. Can't wait to try something else. Need to buy my own equipment though =)
I love peach jam. Made it last year but this year I tried canning the peaches rather then making them into jam. Hope I didn't make a mistake.
Have peach jam on my agenda for thus pm!
