Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (peeled, pitted, and diced) Ripe peaches
- 2 cups Fresh raspberries
- 4 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 package (1.75 oz) Powdered pectin
Instructions
Prepare the peaches by peeling, pitting, and dicing them into small pieces. Measure out 4 cups and set aside.
Wash the raspberries gently and drain well. Set aside 2 cups.
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the peaches and raspberries. Use a potato masher to gently crush the fruit, releasing juices but leaving small chunks for texture.
Stir in the lemon juice and powdered pectin until well combined.
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking or burning.
Once the mixture reaches a rolling boil, add the granulated sugar all at once. Stir continuously to dissolve the sugar completely.
Allow the jam to return to a hard rolling boil. Boil for 1-2 minutes while stirring constantly. The mixture will thicken and coat the back of a spoon.
Remove the jam from the heat and skim off any foam from the surface using a spoon.
Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top. Wipe the rims clean with a damp cloth, then seal with sterilized lids and rings.
Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure proper sealing and preservation.
Remove the jars from the water bath and allow them to cool completely. Once cooled, check that the lids have sealed. Store the sealed jars in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year. Refrigerate any jars that did not seal and consume within 2 weeks.
