Peach Jam!!!

I made jam!

Ok freezer jam so its nice and easy but still!

I was looking at houses on Sunday and happened upon a rather nice fruit stand that had last of the season peaches. They looked so amazing I just couldnt say no and they were only 6 bucks for a half box. So I brought them home and called my amazing older sister and she walked me through what I would need. I now know what Pectin is and folks. Its wonderful

Since the peaches were end of season there were a good few with bad spots but after cleaning them all up and chopping them into peaches I ended up with 10 cups of chunky peach puree.

After adding in some sugar and the aforementioned pectin and letting it boil for a whole 5 minutes I ended up with 10 whole containers of freezer jam. I am pretty excited. It tastes pretty much like peach cobbler or pie filling because of the cinnamon and you can pretty much eat it with a spoon (not that I would ever do that of course)


And I even have room in my freezer for it all. Yay for peaches all winter long!!!!!
