Description
A delightful homemade peach jam perfect for spreading on toast or adding to your favorite recipes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 1/2 pounds fresh peaches, sliced (about 8–10 peaches)
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
Instructions
- Working in batches, add sliced peaches to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until chunky, then transfer to a large Dutch oven or stockpot.
- Add sugar, lemon juice, and sea salt to the peaches, then stir to combine well.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. The mixture will foam quite a bit initially. Boil for about 15-20 minutes, or until the foam subsides and the fruit floats to the top of the mixture. Perform a spoon test.
- Remove Dutch oven from heat and let cool for a few minutes. Use a ladle and funnel to scoop the jam into prepared jars, then close lids to fingertip tightness. Allow to cool completely to room temperature, then refrigerate or freeze.
Notes
- For the spoon test, place a spoonful of jam on a cold plate, let it sit for a minute, then run your finger through it. If it holds its shape, it’s ready!
- Ensure jars are properly sterilized before filling.
