Easy Steps To Make Yummy Peach Preserves At Home

Prepare your tools: jar lifter, de-bubbler, lid lifter, funnel, ladle, heavy spoon, jars, rings, and lids.

Use half pint jars for preserving, sterilizing them in a deep pot of water on high heat.

Add 8 cups of thawed peaches to the pot.

Add 4 tablespoons of lemon juice to the peaches.

Heat the mixture on medium-high until it comes to a boil, stirring occasionally.

Once boiling, add 2 packs of Sure-Jell pectin and stir well.

Boil for 1 minute while stirring.

Gradually add 14 cups of sugar, stirring gently to dissolve.

Cover the pot to help wash down any sugar stuck to the sides.

Wait for a rolling boil that cannot be stirred down, then boil for 1 minute.

Remove from heat and let sit for a minute to settle the foam.

Prepare jars by placing them on a drying mat to avoid cracking from cold surfaces.
