I called up my Auntie Jeanie last week to get her Easy Homemade Peach Jam recipe as I was craving its peachy sweetness. A phone call with Jeanie is such a highlight – I don’t know why I don’t call her more regularly. In addition to the jam recipe, she told me the secret to peeling fresh peaches. The trick is to add the peaches to a pot of boiling water for 45 seconds. Then quickly remove them and dunk them in a bowl of iced water for about 1 minute. With a paring knife, cut an X at the bottom of each peach and peel off the skin.
To make this jam, you only need 3 ingredients – peaches, lemon juice and sugar. Boil these together until your jam sticks to spoon when it’s lifted and turned sideways. Cool and store in sterilized jars.
To make Easy Homemade Peach Jam, you will need the following ingredients:
Bring the peaches and lemon juice to boil in a large pot over medium high heat. Use a spatula or the back of a wooden spoon to crush peaches to your desired consistency.
Turn the heat down to medium. Add the sugar and bring the peach jam back to a boil, stirring frequently until it has reduced and coats the back of a spoon when you lift it and turn.
With a ladle, spoon the jam into jars.
This jam tastes great on freshly toasted bread.

Thank you for your question Tracy. Our chef used juice of 1 lemon.
How much lemon juice?
So I gave Auntie Jeanie's peach jam a shot and it was lit! Super easy, just 3 ingredients and now I got sweet jam for my toast. I might call her more often now.
