Homemade Peach Jam

4 c. ground up peaches

1/4 c. fresh lemon juice

1 1/2 c. sugar

5 heaping Tbsp clear gel

1/2 tsp. ascorbic acid

Wash and peel peaches. Smash then all up

and put into large pot. Add the other ingredients

and stir together well. Bring to a boil and let boil 

for about 10 mins and until thick. Stir constantly

to prevent sticking. Then pour into hot clean jars

and put lids on. As they cool, they will seal. 

*I usually 4 times this recipe and it makes 12 filled pint sized jars.
