Scale
- 4 cups ripe peaches, peeled and diced
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 cup water
- 1 package (1.75 oz) fruit pectin (optional, for a thicker jam)
Instructions
- Peel and dice the peaches into small pieces.
- In your slow cooker, combine the diced peaches, sugar, lemon juice, and water.
- If using pectin, mix it in thoroughly to the peach mixture.
- Set your slow cooker on low for 360-480 minutes until the mixture thickens and darkens.
- Every few hours, give it a gentle stir to ensure everything is well mixed.
- If the jam isn’t thick enough, simmer it on the stove over low heat until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Carefully pour the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving some headspace, then seal tightly.
Notes
Use ripe peaches for the best flavor. Consider adding spices like vanilla or cinnamon for a twist. Store in sterilized jars to ensure freshness.
