Simple Spice Peach Jam

Finished

All you will need:

4 - 29 oz cans of sliced peaches in heavy syrup and

4 cups of sugar.

1 tsp cinnamon

Pour peaches and syrup into medium sized pot. Heat over medium/low for half an hour stirring occasionally.

The Start

Gently stir in sugar and cinnamon.


Raise heat to medium and continue cooking. Keep stirring them often. Let them cook down slowly until the peaches have cooked down 1/4 of what you started with and have the consistency of jam or preserves. Cooked mine for over 3 hours. Once they started to bubble I turned the fire down to medium/low.


Remove from heat and fill clean sterilized jars with mixture. 

Nice and thick

Clean the rim of the jar and put a lid and ring on each jar and tighten barely finger tight. Don’t put them too tight at this time. So some air can leak out of the jar. The heat will cause the air to expand and squeeze out under the lid. Put the jars in a pot with enough water to cover the jars an inch or two. Over high heat bring everything to a boil. Go for about 20 minutes after the water in the pot comes to a boil.

After the 20 minutes of boiling, remove from heat and you can tighten the ring. When it cools, the air will contract and vacuum seal the lid. Once the lid seals let cool then store.
The 4 cans of peaches turned into 3.5 jars.

4 29oz cans down to 3.5 pint jars
