- 3 large Fresh peaches
- ¾ cup Granulated sugar
- ¼ cup Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Peel and pit the peaches, chop into small pieces.
Add peaches, sugar, honey, and lemon juice to a medium pot, bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring frequently.
Once mixture is boiling, turn heat down to low and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring frequently.
As the peaches soften, mash them a bit with a potato masher. I like a bit of texture - not pureed, and not TOO chunky.
At the 30 minute mark, start testing for thickness. Run a spoon through the mixture - if it leaves a visible “wake” for a second or two, it’s thick enough. Don’t overcook it!
Once your jam is thick enough - it can take 45 minutes or more, heads up - remove from the heat.
Use a clean funnel, and ladle the hot jam into a clean jam jar.
Use a wet paper towel to wipe the top edge of the jar, and affix a clean jam lid and ring.
Allow to cool to room temperature before transferring to the fridge.
