Ingredients
- 4 cups (peeled, pitted, and finely chopped) Fresh peaches
- 1 cup (drained) Crushed pineapple
- 4 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 box (1.75 ounces) Fruit pectin
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the peaches: blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds, transfer to an ice bath, and then peel off the skins. Pit and finely chop the peaches until you have 4 cups.
Step 2
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the chopped peaches, crushed pineapple, lemon juice, and fruit pectin. Stir well to ensure the pectin dissolves evenly.
Step 3
Place the pot on medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Add the granulated sugar all at once and stir until completely dissolved. Return the mixture to a full rolling boil and let it boil hard for 1 minute, continuing to stir.
Step 5
Remove the pot from heat and skim off any foam that forms on the surface using a spoon.
Step 6
Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace at the top. Wipe the rims clean with a damp cloth, place the lids on top, and tighten the bands until fingertip-tight.
Step 7
Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to seal them. Adjust the time as needed based on your altitude.
Step 8
Remove the jars from the water bath and place them on a towel-lined counter to cool undisturbed for 12-24 hours. Check that the lids have sealed properly by pressing in the center; they should not flex up and down.
Step 9
Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year. Refrigerate any opened jars and consume within 3 weeks.
