Enjoy the sweet and tangy goodness of homemade peach jam with this easy-to-follow recipe. You can also download and print adorable jar labels and gift tags to make your homemade peach jam gifts even more special!

Ingredients: 4 cups of fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and chopped. 2 cups of granulated sugar. 1 lemon, juiced and zested. 1 packet of fruit pectin. 1/2 teaspoon of butter optional, to reduce foaming.

Instructions: Use a dishwasher sterilization cycle or boil your canning jars and lids for ten minutes to sterilize them. Add the lemon juice and chopped peaches to a large saucepan. After adding the pectin and allowing it to activate for ten minutes, stir. Pour the lemon zest and granulated sugar into the saucepan. Blend thoroughly. Transfer the mixture to a boiling point while stirring constantly over medium-high heat in the saucepan. If desired, add the optional butter to lessen foaming. After the jam comes to a rolling boil, cook it for another one to two minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and passes the gel test. A small amount of jam should be placed on a chilled plate and allowed to cool for one minute in order to conduct the gel test. It's ready if it wrinkles when you press it with your finger. Take the jam off the stove and, if needed, skim off any froth. Fill the sterilized canning jars with the hot peach jam, leaving a 1/4-inch headspace at the top. After giving the jar rims a thorough wipe, replace the sterile lids and tighten the bands until they are fingertip-tight. To make sure the jars seal correctly, process them in a boiling water bath for ten to fifteen minutes. After a day, take the jars out of the water bath, allow them to cool, and inspect the seals. Jars that have been properly sealed can be kept for up to a year in a cool, dark location.
