List of Ingredients






4 lbs. peaches, peeled, pitted and cut into medium dice
1 cup water
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
5 cups granulated sugar



Recipe



Combine the peaches and water in a heavy 4-quart saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the fruit breaks down to a mash, about 30 minutes.


Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Stir in the lemon juice and sugar, increase the heat, and bring to a hard boil. Begin to check for jelling (thickening).


When it is jelled, ladle it into 8 hot, sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4-inch headroom. Wipe the rims and seal the jars. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.

Makes 8 half-pint jars.
