How to Make Chunky Peach Preserves
- Wash and peel the peaches. Halve and remove the pits.
- Chop the peaches into roughly 1-inch chunks.
- Combine the chopped peaches, sugar, lemon juice, and pectin in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and boil for 10 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and skim off any foam that has formed on the surface.
- Ladle the hot preserves into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace.
- Wipe the rims of the jars clean, place lids and rings on top, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
- Remove jars from the canner and let cool completely. You should hear a 'pop' sound as the jars seal.
- Once cool, check to make sure the jars are sealed. Store in a cool, dark place for up to a year.
