Prepare Peaches:
- Wash, peel, pit, and chop the peaches until you have approximately 10 cups of chopped peaches.
-
Combine Ingredients:
- In a large glass bowl, combine the chopped peaches, sugar, and lemon juice.

-
Transfer to Pot:
- After an hour, transfer the peach mixture to a large stainless steel or enamel pot.

Bring to Boil:
- Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a full boil, stirring occasionally.
-
Cook to Jell Point:
- Once boiling, continue to cook the jam for about 25 minutes or until it reaches the jell point.
- Stir the mixture often, especially as it nears the jell point to prevent burning or sticking.
- You’ll notice the jam thickening as it cooks.

Remove Foam:
- As the jam cooks, foam may form on the surface. Use a spoon to skim off any foam that develops.
-
Ladle into Jars:
- While the jam is still hot, carefully ladle it into clean, hot half-pint jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top.
-
Seal and Process:
- Wipe the jar rims clean and seal with lids and bands.
- Process the filled jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure proper preservation.
-
Cool and Enjoy:
- After processing, remove the jars from the water bath and allow them to cool completely.
