How to Make Grand Champion Peach Jam

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil.
  2. Carefully add whole peaches to the boiling water for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until skins loosen.
  3. Immediately transfer peaches to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
  4. Once cool enough to handle, peel the peaches and remove the pits.
  5. Chop the peeled peaches into roughly 1/2-inch dice (about the size of a pair of dice).
  6. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the chopped peaches, sugar, lemon juice, and pectin.
  7. Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
  8. Once boiling, continue to boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
  9. Remove from heat and skim off any foam that has risen to the surface.
  10. Ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace.
  11. Wipe the jar rims clean, place lids and rings on jars, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude).
