Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced (about 6–7 peaches) Use ripe peaches for the best flavor.
  • 2 cups granulated sugar You can substitute a bit of the sugar with honey or maple syrup.
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Combine the diced peaches, sugar, and lemon juice in a large saucepan. Stir to mix everything well.
  2. Allow the mixture to sit for 10 minutes to help the peaches release their natural juices.
Cooking
  1. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently.
  2. Once boiling, reduce the heat. Let it simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jam thickens and reaches 220°F (105°C) on a candy thermometer.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, if desired.
  4. Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, ensuring you leave a 1/4-inch headspace. Seal the jars with lids.
  5. Allow the jars to cool at room temperature. Once cooled, either refrigerate for immediate use or process them in a water bath canner for long-term storage.

Notes

Once opened, keep the jar in the refrigerator and consume it within a month. For longer storage, you can freeze the jam; just leave some headspace in the container as the jam will expand.
