Servings: 3 cups
Ingredients
- 1 & 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 3 cups fresh ripe peaches, peeled and finely diced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 & 3/4 ounce 1 box SURE-JELL fruit pectin
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the diced peaches, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, and water. Bring the mixture to a vigorous boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat slightly and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring continuously.
- Gradually sprinkle in the fruit pectin while stirring, ensuring it dissolves completely. Allow the mixture to continue boiling for an additional minute. Then, lower the heat and stir for another minute.
- Use a potato masher or an immersion blender to mash the mixture to your preferred consistency.
- Carefully ladle the hot jam into 8-ounce glass canning jars, ensuring to leave a 1/2-inch space from the top of each jar.
- Let the jam cool for about an hour before sealing the jars with their lids. Place the jars in the refrigerator overnight to allow the jam to set and solidify.
Notes
Sugar Substitute: Granulated sugar is ideal for making jam. While some commenters have mentioned success with using a sugar substitute like Splenda, I haven't personally tested it and cannot guarantee the results.
