Canning: Peach Jam

I have never done any canning with peaches before but with this recipe being so easy to follow.
I love this website and I use it for almost all my canning recipes.

I have posted the ingredients but you will need to follow this link for the instructions.  I was able to get 9 jars of jam using this recipe.


Ingredients

  • Fruit: Peaches or Nectarines - 5 pints (which is: 10 cups, or 2.25 liters, about 3.5 lbs, almost 1.75 kg) fresh., whole peaches.  Ultimately, from this we will need 5 or 6 cups of peeled, chopped peaches
  • Lemon juice - either fresh squeezed or bottled. 1/4 cup.
  • Water - 1/2 cup
  • Sugar - About 4.5 cups of dry, granulated (table) sugar. It is possible to make low-sugar,  fruit juice-sweetened, or Stevia (or if you prefer, Splenda)-sweetened fig jam; I'll point out the differences below.
  • Pectin - get the "no sugar needed" type. (it's a natural product, made from apples and available at grocery stores (season - spring through late summer) and local "big box" stores.
