Peach Jam
#1
Makes 3 cups
Ingredients
3 1/2 pds peaches (8 to 10), peeled, halved, pitted, and cut into chunks
3 cups sugar
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Coarse salt
Directions
Working in batches, pulse peaches in a food processor until chunky. Transfer to a small saucepan, and add sugar, lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Boil, continuing to stir, until bubbles slow, foam subsides, fruit rises to the top, and jam sticks to a spoon when lifted, about 12 minutes. Let cool. Refrigerate until completely cooled.

Noticed you are in Texas. It's a beautiful state. Affected by the wildfires?

4 1/2 c chopped peaches
2 tbs lemon juice
2 tbs ginger (I used powdered)
2 tsp cinnamon
5 c sugar
1 pkg pectin (I used powdered Sure Jell)
Mash peaches. Mix lemon juice, ginger, cinnamon, pectin until dissolved then add to peaches. Bring to boil and add sugar. Return to rolling boil (boil that you cannot stir down) and boil for one minute.
I used a ladle to pour this into 8 oz jelly jars that I had washed, sterilized (I just boiled them in my canning pot). I used a hot water bath as directed on the Sure Jell package which I don't seem to have any longer, but I believe it was 10 minutes. Everyone loved this jam. I'm sure that it could be made without the ginger and/or cinnamon if you prefer.
We haven't been affected by the wildfires. I live in the middle of a 200 acre ranch (surrounded by other ranches) that is covered with dried out scrub brush, oaks and cedar, so I just keep praying that we don't have a fire out here. The cedar trees are like gasoline, they just explode when the fire gets to them.
