Slow Cooker Jam the EASIEST

JAM

Jam is so easy in the slow-cooker.  Basically cook fruit down until it is thick, taste and adjust seasonings as you go.  

Peach Jam

2 lbs. slightly under-ripe peaches (7-8)

1/4 c. fresh lemon juice

One 1.75 or 2 oz. box powdered pectin (optional)

3-4 c. sugar, to taste

I like to add a teaspoon of salt and some grated as well as chopped ginger.

Peel peaches by dipping in boiling water, then hold under cold water (I’ve also made it with the skins on and it is just fine if you chop up the peaches small)

 Remove pits, mash or process some.  

Combine peaches and lemon juice, sprinkle with pectin (if using), let stand 20-30 min.

Add sugar, cover and cook on low 2 1/2 hours, stirring twice.

Remove lid, turn to high and cook 2-3 hours longer until proper consistence.  

Ladle into clean jars. Store 2 months in fridge or freeze.
