Ingredients
12
whole
fresh peaches
peeled, pitted and chopped
4
cups
white granulated sugar
1
packet
1.75 oz dry pectin (check expiration date)
Instructions
Mash 1 cup chopped peaches in the bottom of a large saucepan.
Add remaining peaches, and place pan over medium-low heat.
Bring to a low boil, and cook for about 20 minutes or until peaches become liquid (I like to leave some chunks)
Pour peaches into a bowl, and then measure 6 cups back into the pan.
Add sugar and bring to a boil over medium heat.
Gradually stir in dry pectin and boil for 1 minute.
Remove from heat after 1 minute, and transfer to sterilized jars.
Process in hot water bath canner for 10 minutes.
Let cool, and place on shelf until ready to use.
Refrigerate after opening.
Notes
When making preserves and jams, select slightly underipe, firm fruit instead of overripe .
