Best Surejell Ginger Peach Jam Recipes

HOMEMADE PEACH PRESERVES RECIPE

Steps:

• Take each peach and with a sharp knife cut an X into the bottom of the peach at the tip. Place the peaches in boiling water for about 1 minute.
• Remove from the water and immediately plunge the peaches into an ice bath to stop the cooking. Then carefully remove the peel, pit and chop the peaches finely.
• Measure out exactly 5 cups.
• Place jars, rings and lids into a large pot of water. Bring to a boil and boil for three minutes to sterlilize, keep warm.
• In a large stockpot, place the chopped peaches, lemon juice, ginger, curry, salt, fruit fresh (if using) and butter. Mix everything together well.
• Measure ¼ cup of sugar and mix it with the contents of the Sure-Jell. Sprinkle it into the peaches, mix well again and set it on the stove on high and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
• When it comes to a hard boil (a hard boil is one you can't stir down with spoon) add the remaining cups of sugar.
• Continue stirring constantly and return it to a boil and when it comes back to a hard boil, continue boiling it for exactly one minute. (Set a timer to make sure you get it for a full minute).
• Remove from the stove & immediately ladle the hot mixture into sterilized hot jars. Be sure to leave 1/4 headspace. Wipe off the top of the jars with a wet paper towel.
• Place lids on jars, screw on tightly. Process in a hot bath (boiling water) for 10 minutes to seal the jars.
• Makes 4-5 eight oz. jars.
