Ingredients
-
2 ½poundsfresh peaches
-
5cupswhite sugar
-
3(3 ounce) packagespeach gelatin
-
2teaspoonslemon juice
-
½teaspoonalmond extract
Cooking Directions
-
Inspect five 12-ounce jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until jam is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
-
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add peaches and cook until skin loosens, about 20 seconds. Drain and let cool until easily handled. Peel and pit peaches, then cut the flesh into chunks.
-
Return 5 cups peach chunks to the pot and mash with a potato masher. Add sugar, peach gelatin, lemon juice, and almond extract; mix well. Bring to a rolling boil, then cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
-
Pack jam into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
-
Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.
-
Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart. Let rest until cool, about 12 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.
Tips
Use Splenda and sugar-free gelatin for a lighter version.
For a different flavor experience, switch out 1 1/2 cups of peaches and one package of peach gelatin for 1 1/2 cups of raspberries and one package of raspberry gelatin.
