Homemade Peach Preserves

Disclosure: This homemade Peach Preserves recipe has been sponsored by the Washington State Stone Fruit Growers.

Peaches are one of my favorite fruits to preserve during the summer peach season. Homemade Peach Preserves are one of the best homemade jam recipes you can make.

It has been a very busy summer canning season for me this year. I say summer canning season because living in Florida I have two canning seasons each year.

I have the summer canning season when I get to preserve fresh sweet cherries and sweet summer peaches from the Washington State Stone Fruit Growers.

Then I have the winter canning season where I get to visit my favorite farmers markets during the cold winter months.

You see, down here in S.W. Florida our main Farmer's Market season is during the winter months.

While most of the country is dreaming of spring and summer so they can visit their favorite Farmer's Market again I'll be visiting a couple of my own favorite farmer's markets during the cold winter months.

Fresh Summer Peaches

I always look forward to the summer months so I can enjoy fresh peaches from Washington State Stone Fruit Growers.

There is something so satisfying about biting into a sweet ripe peach.

You know what I mean? A peach so ripe and so fragrant that when you hold one in your hand you can smell the sweet scent of a perfectly ripe and juicy peach?

And if it is a really ripe and juicy peach I know when I take that first bite I'll have that sweet golden peach juice running down my chin. It is totally worth having a sticky hand and chin!

How To Can Homemade Peach Preserves

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons Ball Fruit Fresh mixed with 3 tablespoons water or lemon juice
• 4 cups peeled, pitted and sliced peaches
• 6 tablespoons Ball Classic Pectin
• 2 tablespoon lemon juice, fresh or bottled
• 7 cups of granulated sugar
• ½ teaspoon butter, optional

Direction

1. Prepare your jars and lids before beginning by washing them in hot soapy water and rinsing well.
2. Mix the Ball Fruit Fresh in a large bowl. Wash, peel, pit and slice the peaches and place them into the bowl, occasionally mixing to keep then from browning.
3. Place the sliced peaches, Ball Classic Pectin and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice into a 6 quart or large pot.
4. Mix well and continue to stir until boiling.
5. Add the sugar to the pot and stir until it has dissolved. Add the butter if using to prevent foam.
6. Continue to cook while stirring until it has reached a full rolling boil that can not be stirred down. Boil for 1 minute.
7. Remove the pot from the heat and skim any foam from the top and discard.
8. Fill hot half pint jars, leaving a ¼ inch head space. Remove air bubbles, wipe jar rim with a damp paper towel. Place flat lid on the jar and screw band on just finger tight. Set aside and continue to fill all the jars.
9. Process jars in a hot water bath for 10 minutes, adjusting for your altitude.
10. Turn off heat and remove lid. Let jars cool 5 minutes before removing from the hot water bath canner.
11. Cool 12 hours. Check seals. Label jars and store.
