  • Ladle hot jam into hot sterilized half-pint canning jars, leaving a 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe jar rims; adjust lids and screw bands.

  • Process filled jars in a boiling-water canner for 5 minutes (start timing when water returns to boiling). Remove jars from canner; cool on wire racks, turning and tilting jars after 20 minutes to distribute fruit evenly throughout the jam. Repeat as necessary. Makes 7 half-pints.

*Tip:

If desired, place small batches of peeled and cut-up peaches in a food processor. Cover and process with on/off pulses until peaches are finely chopped.

Cardamom-Peach Jam:

Prepare as directed, except stir 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground cardamom into peach mixture after skimming off foam.

Bourbon-Peach Jam

Prepare as directed, except stir in 1/2 cup bourbon with the sugar, peaches, and lemon juice.
