Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Crush 1 cup chopped peaches in the bottom of a large saucepan. Add remaining peaches and set the pan over medium-low heat. Bring to a low boil and cook until peaches become liquid (my family likes a few bits of peach left), about 20 minutes.
Step 2
Pour peaches into a bowl, then measure 6 cups peaches back into the pan. Add sugar and bring to a boil over medium heat. Gradually stir in dry pectin; boil for 1 minute.
Step 3
Remove from heat and transfer to hot, sterilized jars. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly. Process in a hot water bath canner for 10 minutes. Let cool, then store on a shelf in a cool, dark place.
