- 2 lbs peaches enough to make 3 cups of mashed peaches
- 4 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 box Sure-Jell can use another brand, but check their instructions
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Peel and slice peaches, then mash them up with a potato masher or fork. They will be lumpy but that is okay.2 lbs peaches
- Measure out the sugar in a large bowl. Measure 3 cups of peaches and add to the sugar. Add lemon juice. Stir well and set aside so sugar can dissolve.4 1/2 cups sugar, 2 tbsp lemon juice
- In a saucepot, place 3/4 cup of water. Add fruit pectin (Sure-Jell). Bring to a boil while stirring constantly. Boil for one minute, then pour it into the fruit mixture. Stir well until all sugar is dissolved.1 box Sure-Jell
- Pour into clean 8 ounce jars (or plastic containers of choice) and leave 1-inch of headspace (instructions on the package say leave 1/2 an inch, but most recipes say leave one so I go with tradition here). Using a damp paper towel, wipe around the rim and sides of the jar to remove any residue. Place lids on jars and let sit at room temperature for 24 hours.
- After that time, place in the freezer until ready to use. Store opened jars you are using in the fridge.
