Time 1h

Yield Makes 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 pounds peaches
3 cups sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Peel, pit, and cut peaches into 1/2-inch chunks. Combine with 1/4 cup water in a large saucepan; bring to a simmer. With a potato masher, mash into a coarse puree. Simmer, stirring often, 10 minutes.
  • Stir in sugar until dissolved. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer, stirring often, about 15 minutes. (Test doneness by spooning some jam onto a plate; when you run your finger through it, a trail should stay for a few seconds.)
  • Skim foam from surface; stir in fresh lemon juice. Let cool.
