The peaches we procured on Saturday reached optimum ripeness today. So, time to blanch & shock them, so their skins will slip off.
Naked juicy peaches!! I narrowly avoided peach juice dripping down my arms to my elbows.
Put peachy goodness in a pot, along with lemon juice & whisk in the pectin. Bring it to a boil.
Add sugar & watch it get all foamy.
It was supposed to make 6 8 oz jars, but it made about 6.75 jars ... so we can have some right away without risking our holiday gift yield.
Dude.
Best. Jam. Ever.
I am in heaven. Maybe I'll just have to keep one of those jars for us. Or 2 of them.
Dang.

You are AWESOME! I am very impressed by your industriousness.
We live at high altitude so the growing seasons are short and weird here. We pick raspberries, blackberries and apples all at the same time - late August.
Whoa.
:-)
On toast even!
Great photos of the process. I could almost smell it. YUM!!
very cool I think I am going to ask my mom to bring home some of my Grandma's recipes from upstate :)
Oh yum!!! I think I drooled on my keyboard. :)
