Ingredients
- 2 pounds fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and chopped
- 4 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup Amaretto liqueur
- 1 package (1.75 oz) fruit pectin
- 1/2 teaspoon butter (optional, to reduce foam)
Instructions
- Prepare the peaches by peeling, pitting, and chopping them into small pieces. Measure 2 pounds and set aside.
- In a large pot, combine the chopped peaches, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir well and let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes. This allows the juices to start releasing from the peaches.
- Add the fruit pectin to the pot and stir to combine. Heat the mixture over medium-high heat, bringing it to a full rolling boil. Stir constantly to prevent it from sticking.
- Once boiling, add the Amaretto liqueur and stir well. Continue boiling for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring the jam reaches the desired consistency.
- If using, add 1/2 teaspoon of butter to reduce foam. Remove the pot from heat and skim off any remaining foam using a spoon.
- Carefully pour the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top. Wipe the rims clean before sealing with lids.
- Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to seal properly. Remove from the water and let cool completely.
- Once cooled, ensure the seals are tight. Store jars in a cool, dark place and enjoy within one year for optimal flavor.
