Ingredients

  • 3 ripe peaches pitted and cubed
  • ½ cup white sugar adjust depending on sweetness of the fruit
  • 1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 2 teaspoons water
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Combine peaches, sugar and lemon juice in a heavy bottomed pot over medium heat.
  • Simmer for 15 to 25 minutes.
  • Use fork or potato masher to crush peaches and release its juice.
  • Continue cooking for another 20 minutes or until soft. It will thicken when liquid is reduced.
  • If peach jam is still runny dissolve 2 teaspoons of cornstarch in 2 teaspoons of water. Pour mixture slowly and stirring constantly for 2 minutes.
  • Turn off heat. Let it cool down before transferring to an air tight container. Refrigerate. Enjoy!

Notes

  1. After tasting the jam I can get away with adding just ¼ cup white sugar instead of ½ cup since peaches are so sweet this time of year.
