Ingredients

  • 3 cups fresh peaches peeled, seeded and sliced
  • 1 tbsp fresh-squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 vanilla bean split in half lengthwise
  • 1 box fruit pectin 1.75 oz., I used SURE-JELL, any brand works
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions

  • Peel, seed and slice the fresh peaches.
  • In a large glass bowl, add the peaches, lemon juice and sugar. Mash together with a potato masher. You will still have some small chunks of fresh peaches with the juice.
  • Scrape the vanilla bean into the bowl and mix well. Let stand for about 10 minutes.
  • In a small saucepan, mix together the pectin and water. Heat over high and boil the mixture for 1 minute.
  • Add the pectin mixture to the peach mixture and stir constantly for 3 minutes.
  • Ladle the peach jam into clean 1-cup jars (I used Ball freezer jars). Freeze until ready to use.
