alright so picked the peaches, made the jam in 2 batches, batch one is peach with rosemary and lime zest. i found a new pectin at the store that doesnt need sugar, this will be a bit more softset; however i like that its just fruit
batch two (bottom photo) is simply peach
neither of these really needs a recipe but its basically
4 cups peaches, sliced as small as you prefer
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 cup organic apple juice
1 package no sugar pectin
(and for the lime/rosemary version - 4 sprigs rosemary and zest and juice of one lime)
first 3 ingredients go in a pot to cook on medium high. once it starts bubbling, mash everything with a potato masher, add pectin slowly while stirring and put on full boil til it thickens. turn off heat after 5 mins or so of full boil and can in jars. each batch made 4 jars worth

why not avoid pectin altogether? you can make most jams without it.
i am still a little new to making jam. but yes i'd like to try some without
Ahh, I see that Colleen, who is a secret jam maker, has found you. Hmm, I ever wonder how! However, we are going to be up to our eyes in pie on Sunday!
Anyways, I would like to make jam labels for you both. Cheapgirl insists!
